The resulting solid was washed thoroughly with water and ethanol to obtain Pd / Al2O3-1.

[0053] Experimental verification

[0054] 1. To investigate the influence of different supports on catalytic activity, Examples 1-5 were subjected to catalytic reaction. The reaction process was as follows: 0.5 g of catalyst was loaded into a straight quartz reactor with a diameter of 1 cm, heated to the target temperature for reaction. The gas flow rate at the inlet of the reactor was 200 mL / min, and the gas composition was 3% H2and 97% air. A mass spectrometer was used to analyze the composition of the gas at the outlet of the reactor after reaction. By investigating the results at different temperatures, a hydrogen conversion rate-reaction temperature line graph was obtained as shown in Figure 1 .

[0055] 2. To investigate the influence of Pd loading on catalytic activity, the amount of palladium acetylacetonate used in Example 1 was changed, and the other conditions remained unchanged. The catalysts prepared were subjected to experiments at a set target reaction temperature of 70 °C, and a columnar graph was obtained as shown in Figure 2 . It can be seen that the catalytic activity increases with the increase of Pd loading, and when the Pd loading is 1 wt%, the catalytic activity reaches a maximum. When the Pd loading exceeds 1 wt%, the catalytic activity decreases. Excessive loading leads to the formation of larger clusters of Pd nanoparticles, resulting in a decrease in the specific surface area of Pd active centers, thereby reducing the activity.

[0056] 3. To investigate the influence of different Pd reduction methods on catalytic activity, we supplemented a technical solution using hydrogen reduction of Pd:

[0057] A prepared FeAlO3 (1 g) was dispersed in 5 mL of water, and 0.017 g of palladium chloride was added to the solution. The mixture was allowed to stand for 24 h and then dried in air. The sample was first calcined at 500 °C for 2 h and then reduced at 400 °C in a hydrogen atmosphere to obtain Pd / FeAlO3-H2.

[0058] Pd / FeAlO3 and Pd / FeAlO3-H2 obtained from Example 1 were put into catalytic reaction, the reaction process was as follows: 0.5 g of catalyst was loaded into a straight tube quartz reactor with a diameter of 1 cm, heated to the target temperature for reaction. The gas flow rate at the inlet of the reactor was 200 mL / min, and the gas composition was 3% H2, 97% air. The mass spectrometer was used at the outlet of the reactor to analyze the composition of the reacted gas, and the hydrogen conversion rate-reaction temperature line comparison graph was obtained by exploring the results at different temperatures, as shown in Figure 3 . Figure 3 It can be seen that the catalytic activity of Pd / FeAlO3-H2 is much lower than that of FeAlO3.

[0059] 4. In order to explore the influence of different Fe: Al ratios on catalytic activity, we supplemented the feeding technical scheme according to different Fe: Al ratios as shown in Table 1:

[0060] Table 1 Feeding situation of different Fe: Al ratios

[0061] Fe 1-x Al 1+x O3]]> Fe(NO3)3 amount g [Al(NO3)3] amount g 0.1 0.48 1.17 0.3 0.37 1.38 0.5 0.26 1.60 0.7 0.16 1.81 0.9 0.05 2.03

[0062] By changing the feeding in Example 1, other conditions remain unchanged, the catalysts prepared according to the set target reaction temperature of 70°C were tested, and the column chart is shown in Figure 4 . By comparing the influence of different Fe: Al ratios on catalytic activity, it can be seen from the figure that at a reaction temperature of 70°C, the catalytic activity of Pd / Fe 0.5 Al 1.5 O3 is the highest, and too low or too high Fe doping amount will affect the activity of the catalyst. Too low Fe doping leads to fewer oxygen vacancies, affecting the catalytic activity. Too high Fe doping will wrap the active center, resulting in a decrease in catalytic activity.

[0063] 5. The influence of Fe doping method on catalytic activity was explored, FeAlO3-ref was obtained by directly dipping Fe into prepared Al2O3, and then Pd / FeAlO3-ref was prepared according to the same Pd loading scheme in Example 1. By comparing Pd / FeAlO3-ref and Pd / FeAlO3, the hydrogen conversion rate-reaction temperature line comparison graph was obtained by exploring the results at different temperatures, as shown in Figure 5 .

[0064] 6. We also explored the influence of different molding temperatures of the reaction mixture in step (1) C step on catalytic activity, which were compared at 50°C, 70°C, 90°C, 110°C, 130°C (with an error of not more than 5°C), and the column chart at a reaction temperature of 70°C is shown in Figure 6 .

[0065] The above embodiment is only one of the preferred embodiments of the present application, and should not be used to limit the protection scope of the present application, but any modification or polishing without substantial meaning made in the main design idea and spirit of the present application, and the technical problems solved are still consistent with the present application, and should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
