Synergy of oxygen vacancies and hydroxyl group for catalytic transfer hydrogenation of furfural to furfuryl alcohol on Zr(OH)4/Fe3O4
Construction of highly efficient catalysts is crucial for the catalytic transfer hydrogenation (CTH) of bio-based carbonyls to valuable chemicals and fuels. Herein, we successfully synthesized a series of uniformly dispersed Zr(OH)4-Fe3O4 nanoparticles with the regulation of sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate (SDBS), which exhibited exceptional activity for the CTH of furfural (FAL) into furfuryl alcohol (FOL). Systematic characterizations revealed that SDBS effectively modified the interaction between Fe3O4 and Zr(OH)4, thereby enhancing Lewis acidity by facilitating the construction of electron-deficient zirconium sites. Meanwhile, the presence of oxygen vacancies and surface hydroxyl groups in Zr(OH)4-Fe3O4-SDBS facilitated the adsorption and activation of both substrate and hydrogen donor. Thanks to these synergistic effects, a complete conversion of FAL with an impressive selectivity towards FOL was achieved, with a remarkable turn-over frequency value reaching as high as 42.5 h−1. Encouragingly, Zr(OH)4-Fe3O4-SDBS also demonstrated its universality in the CTH of carbonyl compounds by exhibiting remarkable separation capability while maintaining its activity and structure after being reused for 11 cycles without significant changes.
期刊介绍:
The Chemical Engineering Journal is an international research journal that invites contributions of original and novel fundamental research. It aims to provide an international platform for presenting original fundamental research, interpretative reviews, and discussions on new developments in chemical engineering. The journal welcomes papers that describe novel theory and its practical application, as well as those that demonstrate the transfer of techniques from other disciplines. It also welcomes reports on carefully conducted experimental work that is soundly interpreted. The main focus of the journal is on original and rigorous research results that have broad significance. The Catalysis section within the Chemical Engineering Journal focuses specifically on Experimental and Theoretical studies in the fields of heterogeneous catalysis, molecular catalysis, and biocatalysis. These studies have industrial impact on various sectors such as chemicals, energy, materials, foods, healthcare, and environmental protection.
