Abstract
Amorphous silica-alumina (ASA) with ultra-high specific surface area and suitable pore structure was successfully synthesized through the development of a cost-effective and efficient one-pot synthesis method under template-free conditions. Then Pt-loaded ASA catalysts with suitable acidity and highly dispersed Pt species were prepared via a synergistic strategy combining surface modification and “soft” nitriding. Among the as-designed Pt-loaded ASA catalysts, Pt/ASA catalyst prepared via boron modification and “soft” nitriding (Pt/BNASA) demonstrated outstanding naphthalene hydrogenation performance, achieving complete naphthalene conversion (100 %) and full decalin selectivity (100 %), along with a reaction rate constant (k) of 16.4 × 10−6 mol g−1 s−1 and a turnover frequency (TOF) value of 2415 h−1. The superior naphthalene hydrogenation activity and selectivity of Pt/BNASA catalyst could be attributed to the combination of the excellent textural properties, and the optimized balance between acidic sites and metallic sites.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Catalysis publishes scholarly articles on both heterogeneous and homogeneous catalysis, covering a wide range of chemical transformations. These include various types of catalysis, such as those mediated by photons, plasmons, and electrons. The focus of the studies is to understand the relationship between catalytic function and the underlying chemical properties of surfaces and metal complexes.
The articles in the journal offer innovative concepts and explore the synthesis and kinetics of inorganic solids and homogeneous complexes. Furthermore, they discuss spectroscopic techniques for characterizing catalysts, investigate the interaction of probes and reacting species with catalysts, and employ theoretical methods.
The research presented in the journal should have direct relevance to the field of catalytic processes, addressing either fundamental aspects or applications of catalysis.
