Geometric effect of Ru/HSAG@mSiO2: a catalyst for selective hydrogenation of cinnamaldehyde

Abstract

A new strategy to synthesize a catalyst consisting of graphite-supported Ru nanoparticles encapsulated by mesoporous silica layers was developed via a facile and scalable wet-chemical process. The intended structures were confirmed with N2 sorption, CO chemisorption, TEM and SEM. The geometric effect of the pores in the silica layer of Ru/HSAG@mSiO2 was evaluated in the hydrogenation of cinnamaldehyde and showed 15% higher selectivity to unsaturated alcohol and three times higher turnover frequency (TOF) relative to unconfined Ru/HSAG catalyst with the equivalent size of Ru particles.
