The invention provides a
metal cluster containing bound positive and negative
ion pairs, a preparation method of the
metal cluster, a high-dispersion
metal catalyst and a preparation method and application of the high-dispersion
metal catalyst. The preparation method of the metal cluster containing bound positive and negative
ion pairs comprises the following steps: dissolving a metal compound in a
mixed solution containing water, alcohols and a ligand, and mixing to obtain a metal precursor solution; and sequentially adding a protective agent and a
reducing agent into the metal precursor solution, and mixing to obtain a solution of
metal clusters containing bound positive and negative
ion pairs. The high-dispersion
metal catalyst provided by the invention can be directly prepared by dipping carrier particles into a metal cluster solution protected by bound positive and negative
ion pairs; by dynamically loading bound positive and negative
ion pairs on the metal surface, excessive metal aggregation in the catalyst preparation process can be prevented, so that the effect of controlling the metal
dispersity is achieved, and the technical
route of implementing bound positive and negative ion pair protection and cluster soft landing on
metal clusters is realized.
