Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of nanomaterial catalyst synthesis, specifically relating to a method for preparing supported carbon-doped noble nanoparticle catalysts using a heat-treated colloidal method. Background Technology

[0002] In industrial catalysis, carbon doping is a commonly used method for catalyst modification. By depositing carbon atoms on the metal surface and diffusing them into the crystal lattice, the electronic properties of the catalyst can be significantly altered, leading to its wide applications in catalysis, such as selective hydrogenation, selective dehydrogenation, methane aromatization, Fischer-Tropsch synthesis, carbon dioxide conversion, and electrocatalysis (CN115910631A, CN105749947A). From the modification of metal nanoparticles themselves to the modification of the support (CN103623820A), carbon doping has significant application value. Research on carbon doping of non-noble metals is relatively extensive, focusing on transition metals such as Fe, Mn, and Ni. The preparation and application of these carbides have been widely reported.

[0003] Carbon-doped noble metal nanoparticles significantly enhance catalyst performance. For example, Schlogl et al. reported the formation of interstitial C atoms in a Pd catalyst during alkyne hydrogenation, which significantly improved the selectivity of alkyne hydrogenation to olefins (Science, 2008, 320, 86-89). Traditional extreme or complex synthesis conditions limit the research on carbon-doped noble metals. Examples include: calcining transition metal salts with aqueous organic acid solutions in a carbon-containing atmosphere to prepare palladium carbide (CN109772396A); using molecular sieves to assist in the synthesis of supported palladium carbide catalysts (CN115770606A); and using hydrothermal methods to synthesize gold catalysts in ordered mesoporous carbon nanospheres (Nature Communications, 2020, 11, 4600). These methods are demanding and cumbersome, preventing large-scale industrial applications. Therefore, the research and utilization of carbon-doped noble metals are currently insufficient. Developing simple and easy-to-implement processing conditions is extremely important. Summary of the Invention

[0096] Example 4

[0097] The catalytic activity of the catalysts prepared in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-3 was evaluated using a batch reactor. 10 mg of catalyst sample, 165 mg of o-chloronitrobenzene, 20 μL of internal standard n-butanol, and 10 mL of ethanol solvent were weighed and added to a 25 mL high-pressure reactor. The reaction pressure was 2 MPa H2, and the reaction temperature was 100 °C. The conversion rate of the catalyst was controlled by adjusting the reaction time. GC-MS was used for qualitative and quantitative analysis of the reactants and products. Two indicators were used to determine the catalytic performance of the catalyst: (1) conversion rate at the same reaction time; (2) selectivity of the target product at the same conversion rate. The test results are shown in Table 1.

[0098] Table 1. Catalyst performance indicators in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-3

[0099]

[0100] Table 1 shows that Examples 1, 2, and 3 all exhibit good o-chloroaniline selectivity, exceeding 99%, at the same conversion rate. The processing temperature of Example 1 is lower than that of Examples 2 and 3, mainly because it has a smaller average Pt particle size, thus exhibiting better catalytic activity. Comparative Example 1, under the same reaction conditions as Example 1, shows a target product selectivity of 82.2% and an aniline selectivity of 17.8%. Although it has smaller average Pt nanoparticles, its selectivity is extremely poor, indicating that calcination temperatures below 500°C reduce the target product selectivity and generate more aniline byproducts. Comparative Examples 2 and 3 have lower conversion rates and target product selectivities of 97%, and their catalytic performance is inferior to that of Examples 2 and 3, indicating that the surfactant plays an important role in the reaction. In summary, the data in Table 1 show that the surfactant used in this invention and processing conditions above 500°C can significantly improve the hydrogenation selectivity of the catalyst.

[0101] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and not to limit them; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features; and these modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
