Design and synthesis of hydrogenation nanocatalyst with synergetic multiple catalytic sites

doi:10.11949/j.issn.0438-1157.20150702

Abstract

Abstract:

As synergic multiple active sites catalysts can theoretically activate two or more reactant or substrates simultaneously resulting in significantly increase of activity and stability of catalysts, we herein develop a novel catalysts preparation strategy to design and construct noble metal-transition metal-transition metal oxide (NM-TM/TMO) to form bi-active catalytic sites. The experimental results show that such a catalyst has excellent performance in catalytic hydrogenation, e.g. aromatic compounds hydrogenation as the case studies. It was also found that the nanostructure of catalyst can be tuned via thermal treatments, which are investigated and the relationship between structure and activity is explored to some extent.

Key words: nanocatalyst, synergistic, hydrogenation, relationship of nanostructure-activity
