Highly Active Isolated Single-Atom Pd Catalyst Supported on Layered MgO for Semihydrogenation of Acetylene
ACS APPLIED ENERGY MATERIALS(2022)
Abstract
Selective hydrogenation of acetylene to ethylene is an important industrial reaction. In this work, we report a highly efficient Pd/MgO catalyst loaded with ultralow (0.05 wt %) levels of palladium for the selective hydrogenation of acetylene to ethylene. Palladium single-atom catalysts exhibited an excellent catalytic performance for semihydrogenation of acetylene with the highest ethylene selectivity of about 82% at 200 ? due to facile desorption of ethylene against the overhydrogenation to unwanted ethane. This work provides a very simple route to prepare a highly active, selective, and low-cost Pd catalyst for the semihydrogenation of acetylene.
