Abstract

Au-Pd bimetallic nanoparticles immobilized on series of CeO2 supports with different morphologies, e.g., rod, cube, and polyhedrons were prepared through the deposition-precipitation method with a consequent investigation on their catalytic performances for benzyl alcohol oxidation in the absence of solvent. The experimental results exhibited that the morphology of CeO2 has a markedly impact on the catalytic performance of Au-Pd/CeO2. In which Au-Pd supported on CeO2 rod could achieve higher benzyl alcohol conversion than that supported on CeO2 polyhedrons and CeO2 cube, however, CeO2 cube supported Au-Pd showed the highest selectivity towards the production of benzaldehyde. ICP-AES, XRD, Raman, N2-BET, TEM, HAADF-STEM, and XPS were conducted to characterize the catalysts. The results revealed that the excellent behavior of Au-Pd/CeO2-rod in benzyl alcohol oxidation was closely related with the smaller size of CeO2 particle, the higher concentration of oxygen defects in support and the higher number of Ce3+ and Pd2+ species on the catalyst surface. The present study on the morphologies of CeO2 support in solvent-free benzyl alcohol oxidation would offer a notable approach for the future catalyst design.
