Carbon nanotube-modified porous carbon-coated PdCo bimetallic catalyst for catalytic transfer hydrogenation of furfural to furfuryl alcohol
Pd@ZIF-67 with Pd particles coated with ZIF-67 was prepared by one pot method.A carbon nanotube/porous carbon coated-PdCo particles catalyst(PdCo@CNT/C)was prepared by growing carbon nanotube on porous carbon through high-temperature pyrolysis with pyridine as carbon source.The preparation conditions of PdCo@CNT/C and the catalytic transfer hydrogenation of furfural to furfuryl alcohol over PdCo@CNT/C were studied.The results indicated that doping Pd components in Co could enhance the activity of Co based catalyst for furfural transfer hydrogenation and improve the selectivity of furfuryl alcohol.PdCo@CNT/C with carbon nanotube/porous carbon structure exhibited higher catalytic activity for furfural transfer hydrogenation than PdCo@/C with porous carbon structure.
