Amination of <em>n</em>-butanol with ammonia over supported cobalt catalysts represents a promising synthetic route. To enhance the catalytic performance of cobalt-based amination catalysts, we reported an acid-treated strategy that allows for precise regulation of cobalt speciation. Among the evaluated supports, silicalite-1 demonstrated superior amination performance, attributed to its unique ability to enhance cobalt dispersion and suppress acid-induced side reactions. Through acid treatment, oversized Co₃O₄ nanoparticles are selectively removed, thereby preserving highly dispersed cobalt species. Under rigorous reaction conditions (WHSV = 2.5 h⁻¹), the acid-treated catalyst achieved 90% selectivity toward <em>n</em>-butylamine, accompanied by improved stability compared to untreated counterparts. Mechanistic investigations revealed that well-dispersed metallic Co⁰ nanoparticles promoted selective C–N bond formation <em>via</em> efficient coupling, whereas larger cobalt domains facilitated dehydrogenation-driven carbon deposition pathways.
