The invention discloses a
nitrogen-containing carbon hollow sphere supported
cobalt-based catalyst as well as a preparation method and application thereof, and belongs to the technical field of catalyst preparation. According to the preparation method,
ammonia water,
tetraethyl orthosilicate, polyoxyethylene polyoxypropylene
ether triblock
copolymer,
resorcinol and a
formaldehyde solution are fully reacted in a mixed
solvent of deionized water and
ethanol by virtue of a template method, and the
nitrogen-containing carbon hollow spheres are obtained after
calcination and
etching; then carrying out
surface modification on the
nitrogen-containing carbon hollow spheres, and uniformly loading
cobalt metal by virtue of the structure guiding effect of hexamethyleneimine and
sodium citrate dehydrate; the prepared nitrogen-containing carbon hollow sphere supported
cobalt-based catalyst has abundant highly-exposed Co-N-C active sites, has wide substrate universality, has good catalytic activity and selectivity for
amination reactions with various long-chain fatty aldehydes, fatty ketones, cyclic fatty ketones, aromatic aldehydes and ketones as raw materials, and can realize efficient catalytic
amination reactions of carbonyl compounds.
