摘要: 以Cu (acac)2为金属有机铜前体, 层状MgO为载体, 采用金属有机化学气相沉积方法 (MOCVD) 制备了Cu/MgO催化剂, 并通过X射线衍射 (XRD)、傅里叶变换红外光谱 (FT-IR)、场发射扫描电镜 (FE-SEM)、透射电子显微镜 (TEM) 和N2物理吸附等方法对Cu/MgO催化剂结构进行表征.结果表明, 有机铜前体沉积在了MgO上, 并且在沉积后, 载体MgO的晶体结构仍然保留完整.利用生物质平台分子γ-戊内酯加氢反应来评价Cu/MgO催化剂的催化性能.研究表明, 在473 K和10 MPa反应条件下, 18% Cu/MgO催化剂表现出优异的催化活性 (90.5%) 和1, 4-戊二醇选择性 (94.4%), 且催化剂循环三次, 催化活性没有显著降低.Abstract: The laminar MgO with high specific area and the organometallic precursor Cu (acac)2 were used for the successful synthesis of Cu/MgO catalysts by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) method. The copper supported on MgO catalysts were characterized by means of X-ray diffraction, Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and N2-physisorption. Characterization results indicated that the organic precursor was successfully deposited onto MgO and the crystal structure of MgO remained intact after deposition. The hydrogenation of γ-valerolactone (γ-GVL) was employed to evaluate the catalytic performance of the Cu/MgO catalysts. It was found that the 18% Cu/MgO catalyst exhibited excellent catalytic activity (90.5%) and selectivity (94.4%) for 1, 4-PDO at 473 K and 10 MPa, and the catalytic activity of Cu/MgO did not diminish significantly after cycling for three times.
