This invention discloses a
carbon nitride-supported
noble metal catalyst, its preparation method, and its application, belonging to the technical field of preparation and application of supported
noble metal catalysts. Using
melamine as a precursor,
graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) support is obtained through high-temperature
calcination and ultrasonic exfoliation.
Noble metal palladium nanoparticles are then loaded onto the surface of g-C3N4 via an impregnation-reduction method to obtain a Pd / g-C3N4 catalyst. In the prepared catalyst,
palladium nanoparticles are uniformly dispersed on the
support surface, with an average particle size of approximately 3.2 nm, and the mesoporous structure of the support remains intact before and after loading. This invention features a simple preparation method, low
noble metal usage, and high catalyst activity, exhibiting excellent catalytic performance in the hydrogenation of 5-
hydroxymethylfurfural to 2,5-dimethylfuran. Under
reaction conditions of 150 °C, 1.5 MPa H2, and
formic acid as the
hydrogen donor, a 1% Pd / g-C3N4 catalyst can achieve complete HMF conversion, with a DMF selectivity of 95% and a conversion frequency of 362 h⁻¹. ‑1 Even after five cycles of use, it still maintains a conversion rate of 93% and a selectivity of 83%, showing good prospects for industrial application.
