With Cu-MOF-loaded Fe(NO3)3 as the precursor (Fe(NO3)3/Cu-MOF), Fe/Cu@C and Fe3O4/Cu@C catalysts were prepared from heating under the H2 and N2 atmosphere, respectively. When Fe(NO3)3/Cu-MOF was heated under different atmospheres, Cu-MOF...
Owing to the self‐reducing ability of palladium acetate in solutions, an ethanol solution containing Pd0 particles was prepared and coated in‐situ into copper metal–organic framework (Cu‐MOF), forming Pd@Cu‐MOF in a coated structure. The Pd@Cu‐MOF was reduced under N2 or H2 to form carbon‐coated Pd‐Cu@C. The pyrolysis and carbonization of Cu‐MOF and the reduction of Cu2+ were studied. The Cu‐MOF under either N2 or H2 was pyrolyzed and carbonized, but the Cu2+ reduction mechanisms were different. The high‐temperature carbothermic reduction of Cu2+ under N2 produced Cu0, but during low‐temperature reduction under H2, the reducing H2 reduced Cu2+ to Cu0. Furfural hydrogenation experiments showed that compared with H2, the Pd‐Cu@C prepared under N2 reduction displayed higher furfural hydrogenation activity. The catalytic activity of Pd‐Cu@C prepared from in‐situ Pd0 coating was higher than the Pd/Cu@C prepared from the impregnation method. With i‐propanol as the solvent, the catalytic hydrogenation of furfural under H2 consisted of direct catalytic hydrogenation with molecular hydrogen as the hydrogen source and catalytic transfer hydrogenation with i‐propanol as the hydrogen donor. The catalytic activity of direct catalytic hydrogenation is higher than the catalytic transfer hydrogenation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
