Abstract

A Pd/Al2O3–CeO2 nanosheets catalyst was fabricated successfully via coprecipitation strategy for the one-pot conversion of acetone to methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK). Compared with Pd/Al2O3 or Pd/CeO2, Pd/Al2O3–CeO2 exhibited the highest catalytic activity (xACE = 46%) and selectivity (SMIBK = 85%), thereby indicating the excellent synergistic effect between Al2O3 and CeO2. The DFT calculation results indicated that the adsorbed acetone in Pd/Al2O3–CeO2 possessed a stronger orbital energy level than acetone, demonstrating that Pd/Al2O3–CeO2 could increase electron activity of acetone and thus activate acetone hydrogenation process. Meanwhile, more electrons were transferred from CeO2 to Al2O3 and reactants (i.e. acetone, diacetone alcohol, mesityl oxide). When reactants were adsorbed in the catalyst model, some chemical bonds (i.e. C = O, C–H, C–O and C = C) were extended accordingly, indicating that Pd/Al2O3–CeO2 could reduce the reaction barrier and accelerate acetone hydrogenation.

Graphical Abstract

The Pd/Al2O3–CeO2 nanosheets exhibited the highest catalytic activity (xACE = 46%, SMIBK = 85%) due to the unique synergistic effect between Al2O3 and CeO2.
