An electron-rich pd nano-catalyst, a preparation method and application thereof

Abstract

This application relates to the field of catalyst technology, disclosing an electron-rich Pd nanocatalyst, its preparation method, and its application. The electron-rich Pd nanocatalyst comprises a sheet-like Mg(OH)₂ support and Pd nanoparticles uniformly loaded on the sheet-like Mg(OH)₂ support; wherein the thickness of the Mg(OH)₂ sheet is less than 2 nm; and the average particle size of the Pd nanoparticles is less than 4 nm. The preparation method includes dispersing the Mg(OH)₂ support in water, sequentially adding a palladium source and urea, refluxing at 55-65°C to obtain a precursor solution; adding a reducing agent to the precursor solution to carry out the reaction, collecting the solid deposit, washing, and drying to obtain the final product. This application, by regulating the electronic structure of the Pd nanoparticles, significantly increases the electron density on their surface, increasing the repulsion of reaction products, weakening the adsorption of reaction products on the catalyst surface, avoiding poisoning of the catalyst active sites, and improving the reactivity and selectivity of the Pd nanocatalyst for the hydrogenation of nitrile compounds at low temperatures.
