The invention provides a preparation method of a high-selectivity semi-hydrogenation MOF (
Metal Organic Framework) supported
palladium catalyst for catalyzing
acetylene. According to the invention, 2-methylimidazole is used as a ligand, Zn < 2 + > is used as a
metal node, water is used as a
solvent, and a ZIF-8-dia carrier is synthesized at
room temperature by controlling the
molar ratio of Zn < 2 + > to 2-methylimidazole; and depositing Pd < 2 + > on the ZIF-8-dia carrier by using a
reducing agent to synthesize the MOF supported
palladium catalyst. Strong
electron interaction is formed between Pd nano-particles and a carrier loaded in the MOF loaded
palladium catalyst, a rich Pd-N structure is constructed on the interface of the Pd nano-particles and the carrier, formation of Pd0 species is inhibited, the
hydrogen activation capacity of the Pd nano-particles is reduced, excessive hydrogenation of
acetylene is inhibited, and therefore the selectivity of
ethylene is improved; the catalyst shows excellent catalytic performance in
acetylene hydrogenation reaction, at 160 DEG C, the acetylene conversion rate reaches 100%, the
ethylene selectivity is 85%, and the catalyst has excellent durability and stability.
