  • Abstract: 

    To promote the greening and economization of industrial production, the development of advanced catalyst manufacturing technology with high activity and low cost is an indispensable part. In this study, nitrogen-doped hollow carbon spheres (NHCSs) were used as anchors to construct a supramolecular coating formed by the self-assembly of boron clusters and β-cyclodextrin by surface crystallization strategy, with the help of the weak reducing agent characteristics of boron clusters, highly dispersed ultra-small nano-palladium particles were in-situ embedded on the surface of NHCSs. The deoxygenation hydrogenation of nitroaromatics and the reduction of nitrate to ammonia were used as the representatives of thermal catalytic reduction and electrocatalytic reduction respectively. The excellent properties of the constructed Pd/NHCSs were proved by the probe reaction. In the catalytic hydrogenation of nitroaromatics to aminoaromatics, the reaction kinetic rate and activation energy are at the leading level. At the same time, the constructed Pd/NHCSs can also electrocatalytically reduce nitrate to high value-added ammonia with high activity and selectivity, and the behavior of Pd/NHCSs high selectivity driving nitrate conversion was revealed by density functional theory and in situ attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared (ATRFTIR) technique. These results all reflect the feasibility and superiority of in-situ anchoring ultra-small nano-metals as catalysts by surface crystallization to build a supramolecular cladding with reducing properties, which is an effective way to construct high-activity and low-cost advanced catalysts.
