The invention discloses a preparation method of a
nickel-
titanium dioxide-carbon trinary nano composite catalyst. In the provided preparation method,
nickel salts,
titanium salts and salicylate are taken as the primary raw materials;
nickel ions,
titanium ions and salicyl-carboxyl functional groups can self-assemble in an
aqueous solution through the coordination interaction so as to obtain a three-dimensional flower-shaped structure, namely a salicyl-intercalated layered nickel-
titanium hydroxide nano
composite material, and finally burning the
composite material in an
atmosphere of
inert gas through utilizing the self-reductive property of carbon so as to obtain the catalyst. Through the preparation method, carbon-coated nickel nano particles with a
quantum size can be evenly dispersed among the
titanium dioxide carrier, and thus the catalytic activity and stability of the catalyst are both improved. In the liquid-phase hydrogenation reactions of nitro-
phenol, the provided catalyst can convert nitro-
phenol into p-aminophenol within three minutes, the catalyst efficiency of the provided catalyst is 7 times faster than that of Pt@C catalyst, after the catalyst is repeatedly used for 10 times, the conversion rate of the provided catalyst can still reach 90% or more, and the catalyst can be recovered magnetically.
