The present invention provides a Ni-M single-atom
alloy catalyst and a preparation method and application thereof. The catalyst is a
magnesium-
aluminum metal mixed oxide MgAlO X As a carrier, a first
metal Ni and a second
metal M are loaded, wherein the second
metal M is selected from one of the noble metals Pt, Ru, Pd, Rh, Ir, Ag and Au, or one of the non-noble metals Fe, Co, Cu, Zn, Ga, In, Mn, Bi, Cd, Sn. By configuring a
mixed metal salt solution of Ni, M, Mg, and Al, a Ni / M / Mg / Al
quaternary layered
hydroxide material Q is prepared by a
coprecipitation method, and then a supported Ni-M single-atom
alloy catalyst is obtained by thermal reduction. The catalyst is used in the reaction of selective hydrogenation of 2,6-diamino-3,5-dinitropyridine to prepare 2,3,5,6-tetraaminopyridine, and shows
high activity and
high selectivity under mild conditions, avoiding the occurrence of side reactions such as excessive hydrogenation under high temperature conditions; it also has the characteristics of good stability,
reusability and long life, and has broad prospects in industrial applications.
