Pt nanoparticle supported on nanocrystalline CeO2 was prepared, and it was found that the catalyst can selectively hydrogenate phenolic derivatives present in bio-oil. The catalyst was characterized by XRD, XPS, ICP-AES, EXAFS, SEM and TEM. TEM micrograms confirm the presence of very small Pt nanoparticles supported on nanocrystalline CeO2. The catalyst was found to be very effective in liquid phase hydrogenation of phenol and phenolic compounds present in bio-oil in the presence of molecular H2. The synergy between the surface and very small Pt particles on the nanocrystalline CeO2 plays the most vital role towards the extremely high catalytic activity of the catalyst. The reusability of the catalyst was tested, and it was found that the catalyst does not exhibit any significant change in its catalytic activity even after five reuses. The catalyst showed ∼100% conversion with very high selectivity after 3 h in phenol conversions of 100% with >98% cyclohexanol selectivity achieved after 3 h of reaction at 100 °C in aqueous medium.
制备了纳米晶CeO2负载的Pt纳米颗粒,发现该催化剂可以选择性氢化生物油中存在的酚类衍生物。通过 XRD、XPS、ICP-AES、EXAFS、SEM 和 TEM 对催化剂进行了表征。 TEM 微克证实存在负载在纳米晶 CeO2 上的非常小的 Pt 纳米颗粒。研究发现,在分子 H2 存在下,该催化剂对于生物油中存在的苯酚和酚类化合物的液相加氢非常有效。纳米晶CeO2表面和极小的Pt颗粒之间的协同作用对于催化剂极高的催化活性起着至关重要的作用。对催化剂的重复使用性进行了测试,发现催化剂重复使用5次后其催化活性并未表现出明显变化。该催化剂在水性介质中于100℃反应3小时后,苯酚转化率为100%,环己醇选择性>98%,转化率约为100%,选择性非常高。
