Abstract
Improving the efficiency of metal/reducible metal oxide interfacial sites for hydrogenation reactions of unsaturated groups(e.g.,C=C and C=O)is a promising yet challenging endeavor.In our study,we developed a Pd/CeO2 catalyst by enhancing the oxygen vacancy(Ov)concentration in CeO2 through high-temperature treatment.This process led to the formation of an interface structure ideal for supporting the hydrogenation of methyl oleate to methyl stearate.Specifically,metal Pd0 atoms bonded to the Ov in defective CeO2 formed Pd0-Ov-Ce3+interfacial sites,enabling strong electron transfer from CeO2 to Pd.The interfacial sites exhibit a synergistic adsorption effect on the reaction substrate.Pd0 sites promote the adsorption and activation of C=C bonds,while Ov preferably adsorbs C=O bonds,mitigating competition with C=C bonds for Pd0 adsorption sites.This synergy ensures rapid C=C bond activation and accelerates the attack of active H*species on the semi-hydrogenated intermediate.As a result,our Pd/CeO2-500 catalyst,enriched with Pd0-Ov-Ce3+interfacial sites,dem-onstrated excellent hydrogenation activity at just 30 ℃.The catalyst achieved a Cis-C18:1 conversion rate of 99.8％and a methyl stearate formation rate of 5.7 mol/(h·gmetal)This work revealed the interfacial sites for enhanced hydrogenation reactions and provided ideas for designing highly active hydrogenation catalysts.
