The water promotion effects in heterogeneous chemical catalysis have attracted significant attention recently. This study demonstrates that incorporating alkali cations as promoters into Pd/rGO-ZnCr2O4 catalyst significantly enhances benzyl alcohol oxidation activity in a Pickering emulsion system. The alkali-modified catalyst not only enhances the promotion effects of water, but also distorts the benzyl alcohol structure and enhances its adsorption, leading to improved reaction efficiency.
The water promotion effects, where water can provide a solution-mediated reaction pathway in various heterogeneous chemical catalysis, have been presented and attracted wide attention recently, yet, the rational design of catalysts with a certain ability of enhancing water-induced reaction process is full of challenges and difficulties. Here, we show that by incorporating alkali (Na, K) cations as an electronic and/or structural promoter into Pd/rGO-ZnCr2O4 (rGO, reduced graphene oxide), the obtained Pd(Na)/rGO-ZnCr2O4 as a representative example demonstrates an outstanding benzyl alcohol oxidation activity in the Pickering emulsion system in comparison to the alkali-free counterpart. The response experiments of water injection confirm the enhanced activity, and the Na-modified catalyst can further enhance the promotion effects of water on the reaction. The effects of alkali cations for Pd nanoparticles are identified and deciphered by a series of experimental characterizations (XPS, in situ CO-DRIFTS, and CO-TPR coupled with MS), showing that there is abundant - OH on the surface of the catalyst, which is stabilized by the formation of Pd-OH x. The alkali-stabilized Pd-OH x is helpful to enhance the waterinduced reaction process. According to the results of in situ Raman as well as UV-vis absorption spectra, the Na-modulated Pd(Na)/rGO-ZnCr2O4 enables the beneficial characteristics for distorting the benzyl alcohol structure and enhancing the adsorption of benzyl alcohol. Further, the mechanism for enhanced water promotion effects is rationally proposed. The strategy of alkali cations-modified catalysts can provide a new direction to effectively enhance the chemical reaction involving small molecule water.
