The application discloses a dinitrotoluene hydrogenation catalyst and a preparation method and application thereof. The preparation method of the hydrogenation catalyst comprises the following steps: placing a MAX material in a mixed acid solution for
etching treatment, washing, intercalation treatment,
centrifugation and freeze-
drying of the product after
etching to obtain a precursor MXene
powder; dispersing the precursor MXene
powder in water, adding a tetravalent
platinum salt, stirring, and then freeze-
drying to obtain a
platinum catalyst with MXene as a carrier, namely a dinitrotoluene hydrogenation catalyst. The
platinum catalyst with MXene as a carrier prepared by the application has excellent catalytic performance, can quickly and highly selectively catalyze dinitrotoluene hydrogenation reduction into
diaminotoluene under relatively mild conditions, and the selectivity and conversion rate are close to 100%. Meanwhile, the preparation process of the catalyst is simple, the loading amount of the
noble metal platinum is low, the preparation cost is low, the catalyst can be recycled, and the catalyst has a good industrial application prospect.
