Abstract
Herein, oxygen plasma was adopted to prepare graphite oxide (GO) supported Pd catalyst (Pd/GO-O2P) with abundant oxygen-containing functional groups (OCGs) and defects on the support, and small-sized Pd nanoparticles. These enhanced the co-adsorption of the 4-nitrophenolate anions and BH4- on the Pd/GO-O2P catalyst, and promoted the generation of H*ads (adsorbed hydrogen on the catalyst surface) and H*abs (absorbed hydrogen in the catalyst lattices), which greatly accelerated the reaction rate from 4-NP to 4-AP. The rate constant k of Pd/GO-O2P for 4-NP reduction is up to 3.47 min−1, which is 15.8 and 347 times that of commercial Pd/C (Sigma-Aldrich) and thermal reduction-prepared Pd/rGO-H2C, respectively. After seven reaction cycles, the k value of Pd/GO-O2P was still as high as 72.6 % of the initial value. Oxygen plasma can realize simple, fast and green preparation of high-performance 4-NP reduction catalysts, which has important reference significance for accurate design, preparation, and application of metal catalysts.
