This invention discloses a
porous carbon-supported
copper catalyst, its preparation method, and its application, belonging to the field of catalyst preparation technology. The invention uses three-dimensional interconnected ordered
porous carbon (NCP) with a large-pore structure as a support,
tetraphenylporphyrin copper(II) and
tetraphenylporphyrin as
nitrogen and
copper sources, and KOH or NaOH as activators. An NCP precursor adsorbed with
tetraphenylporphyrin copper(II), tetraphenylporphyrin, and an alkaline component is obtained through a two-step adsorption process. This precursor is then pyrolyzed at 600-900℃ under
nitrogen protection, cooled to
room temperature, and washed with water to obtain the
porous carbon-supported copper catalyst (NCP@NC-Cu). This catalyst retains a three-dimensional interconnected porous structure, with the
active component (copper species) mainly distributed within the pores of the NCP support, and possesses a large specific surface area and abundant
nitrogen. The catalyst was applied to the N-
formylation reaction of amines with CO2 and H2 to prepare
formamide compounds, exhibiting excellent catalytic activity, recyclability, and good substrate versatility, showing promising application prospects.
