This article presents the fabrication of size-controllable and shape-flexible microcellular high-density polyethylene-stabilized palladium nanoparticles (Pd/m-HDPE) using supercritical foaming, followed by supercritical impregnation. These nanomaterials are investigated for use as heterogeneous hydrogenation catalysts of biphenyls in supercritical carbon dioxide with no significant surface and inner mass transfer resistance. The morphology of the Pd/m-HDPE is examined using scanning electron microscopy images of the pores inside Pd/m-HDPE catalysts and transmission electron microscopy images of the Pd particles confined in an HDPE structure. This nanocomposite simplifies industrial design and operation. These Pd/m-HDPE catalysts can be recycled easily and reused without complex recovery and cleaning procedures.
本文提出了一种使用超临界发泡和超临界浸渍制备具有可控尺寸和灵活形状的微孔高密度聚乙烯稳定钯纳米粒子(Pd/m-HDPE)的方法。这些纳米材料被用作超临界二氧化碳中联苯的非均相加氢催化剂,没有明显的表面和内扩散阻力。通过扫描电子显微镜观察 Pd/m-HDPE 催化剂内部孔的形貌和透射电子显微镜观察 Pd 粒子在 HDPE 结构中的受限形貌,研究了 Pd/m-HDPE 的形态。这种纳米复合材料简化了工业设计和操作。这些 Pd/m-HDPE 催化剂可以很容易地回收和再利用,而无需复杂的回收和清洁程序。
