Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of chemical engineering, and particularly relates to a multi-metal single-atom alloy catalyst, a preparation method thereof, and an application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Biomass-based alcohol / aldehyde compounds (such as 5-hydroxymethylfurfural, furfural, levulinic acid, vanillin, benzaldehyde, p-anisyl alcohol, p-hydroxybenzyl alcohol, etc.) are important platform molecules of renewable resources, and the catalytic hydrodeoxygenation technology thereof is one of the core paths for realizing the high-value utilization of biomass. This technology selectively removes oxygen-containing functional groups and hydrogenates unsaturated bonds to generate hydrocarbon compounds or fine chemicals with high energy density and strong stability. It should be noted that for biomass platform molecules represented by 5-hydroxymethylfurfural, selective catalytic hydrodeoxygenation can produce high-value biofuels (2,5-dimethylfuran). Because of its excellent properties such as high octane number (119), moderate boiling range (92-94 °C), and low miscibility with water, it becomes an ideal component of liquid transportation biofuels. In addition, vanillin can be hydrodeoxygenated to obtain promising liquid biofuel 2-methoxy-4-methylphenol, and levulinic acid can be hydrogenated to prepare γ-valerolactone, which can be used as a green solvent and a pharmaceutical intermediate, etc. Generally, the hydrodeoxygenation of biomass-based alcohol / aldehyde compounds is carried out on noble metal nanoparticle catalysts, however, there are problems of low catalytic efficiency and insufficient utilization rate of noble metal atoms. Single-atom catalysts have far higher catalytic performance than nanoparticle catalysts due to their high atomic utilization rate and controllable coordination structure, and have become an important research direction in the field of biomass conversion.

[0003] However, there are some limitations in traditional preparation methods of single-atom catalysts: Although atomic layer deposition can achieve high dispersion of single atoms, there are problems of complex preparation process and high cost; the impregnation method has a simple process but is limited by disadvantages such as low loading, easy agglomeration, and heavy metal waste liquid pollution. Therefore, developing a synthesis method of single-atom catalysts with universality, economy, and "environmental friendliness" is still the key to be urgently broken through in this field.

[0004] Compared with traditional preparation methods of single-atom catalysts based on wet chemical methods, the method for preparing single-atom alloy catalysts based on the grinding-reduction strategy in the present invention not only has a simpler synthesis process and lower equipment requirements, but also does not require the use of solvents. Therefore, it can be considered as a green, convenient, and industrially applicable synthesis method of single-atom catalysts. Summary of the Invention
