介孔碳材料由于具有规整的孔道结构、表面疏水性、化学惰性、大的比表面积和大的孔体积等特点,在催化领域的应用备受关注,不仅可以直接用作催化剂,还可以作为催化剂载体负载金属活性中心并用于催化反应.介孔碳材料作为载体用于加氢反应已有报道,并且其催化活性明显优于活性炭材料.有序介孔碳材料的代表之一CMK-3可以经过SBA-15翻模合成.采用浸渍法将氯铂酸负载到CMK-3载体上,经过甲酸钠还原制得质量分数为5%的Pt/CMK-3催化剂.小角XRD谱表明CMK-3保留了p6mm对称性,介孔结构完好;从广角XRD谱可以看出,金属铂粒子的衍射峰比较宽,说明铂纳米粒子分散比较均匀.CO化学吸附和透射电镜(TEM)的表征结果进一步证明铂纳米粒子分散得比较均匀,平均粒子大小约为2.5 nm(CO化学吸附),EDX结果表明铂的实际担载量为4.7%.将Pt/CMK-3催化剂用于硝基苯及其衍生物的液相加氢反应中,发现溶剂对反应结果具有很大的影响.首先参考以前的工作,选用水和乙醇体积比9:1的混合溶液为溶剂.在298 K和4 MPa氢气条件下,50 mg催化剂可以将21 mmol硝基苯在10 min内转化98.4%,产物苯胺的选择性高于99%;活性明显高于商品化Pt/C催化剂(相同条件下转化率为88.7%).在此基础上,把Pt/CMK-3催化剂用于含有不同取代基的硝基苯衍生物的液相催化加氢反应,含有吸电子基团如氯取代的硝基苯衍生物转化率为(21.4%–77.7%);苯环上含有给电子基团如甲基时,硝基甲苯加氢反应的转化率为(83.3%–98.0%);而给电子能力更大的基团如甲氧基取代的硝基苯衍生物的转化率却并不高.一方面是由于电子效应导致氯取代的硝基苯衍生物活性偏低,另一方面是由于空间位阻导致邻位取代的硝基苯衍生物活性相对其它位置取代的衍生物转化率偏低.考虑到部分反应物在混合溶剂中溶解度较低,可能导致加氢反应?
Pt nanoparticles entrapped in ordered mesoporous CMK-3 carbons with p6mm symmetry were prepared using a facile impregnation method, and the resulting materials were characterized using X-ray diffraction spectroscopy, N2 adsorption-desorption, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The Pt nanoparticles were highly dispersed in the CMK-3 with 43.7% dispersion. The Pt/CMK-3 catalyst was an effective catalyst for the liquid-phase hydrogenation of nitrobenzene and its derivatives under the experimental conditions studied here. The Pt/CMK-3 catalyst was more active than commercial Pt/C catalyst in most cases. A highest turnover frequency of 43.8 s-1 was measured when the Pt/CMK-3 catalyst was applied for the hydrogenation of 2-methyl-nitrobenzene in ethanol under optimal conditions. It is worthy of note that the Pt/CMK-3 catalyst could be recycled easily, and could be reused at least fourteen times without any loss in activity or selectivity for the hydrogenation of nitrobenzene in ethanol.
