Abstract
CO esterification to dimethyl oxalate (DMO) represents a vital step in coal to ethylene glycol (EG). Pd-based catalysts are being evidenced to fabricate DMO. However, the effect of support morphology on the interfacial electron transfer has not been revealed sufficiently. Herein, the CoAl-LDH supports with two-dimensional (2D) nanosheet and three-dimensional (3D) flower-like structures were employed as new supports materials for Pd catalysts. The Pd/2D-CoAl-LDH catalyst exhibited a significantly higher CO conversion rate (65.7 %) compared to Pd/3D-CoAl-LDH (48.6 %) in CO to DMO reaction. The XAFS, XPS and CO2-TPD characterizations indicated that the density of electron over Pd on 2D-CoAl-LDH was higher than that on 3D-CoAl-LDH. Additionally, in situ DR-FTIR analysis of CO revealed that the electron-rich Pd clusters boost electron donation from the Pd to the CO, thus enhancing catalytic performance. This study provides insights into how modulating support morphology can enhance interfacial electron transfer, and further promoting the thermocatalytic efficiency.
