The invention provides a supported
bimetal nanocrystal catalyst which is a binary
bimetal catalyst taking aluminum
oxide as a supporter and is abbreviated to P-M / MgO-AlO3, wherein P represents
noble metal such as Pd, Au, Pt, Ag and the like, and M represents one or two of
metal cations such as Cu<2+>, Zn<2+>, Ni<2+>, Ga<3+> and Fe<3+>. The particle size of the P-M
bimetal nanocrystal is 2-10 nm, the dimension distribution is narrow, the
nanocrystal particles are highly dispersed on the surface of the supporter uniformly and stably, and the
crystal form is complete. The preparation method of the catalyst comprises the following steps: preparing soluble Mg<2+> salt for MgMAl-LDH (layered double
hydroxide) preparation and an endogenous active
metal salt solution into a
mixed solution; then simultaneously adding precipitant and the aluminum
oxide supporter into the
reaction system; enabling
hydrotalcite to grow on the surface of the aluminum
oxide supporter through an in-situ growth method; supporting exogenous active
metal through a wet impregnation method; and performing high-temperature reduction on the obtained catalyst precursor under a
reducing atmosphere, thus obtaining the supported bimetal nanocrystal catalyst which is stably and highly dispersed.
