Popis: The support of MgO/γ-Al2O3 was initially prepared by a multiple impregnation method and Pd was placed on the surface of the MgO/γ-Al2O3 support via incipient wetness impregnation. Pd/MgO/γ-Al2O3 (Pd/MAO) catalysts were systematically characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET), CO2-temperature-programmed desorption (TPD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), CO-Fourier transform infrared (CO-FTIR), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and tested in the CO oxidative coupling to dimethyl oxalate (DMO) reaction. Compared to Pd/γ-Al2O3, the catalytic activities of the Pd/MAO catalysts improved significantly. The Pd/MAO catalyst with a 30% mass ratio of Mg to γ-Al2O3 delivers 3 times higher STY of DMO than that of Pd/γ-Al2O3. It has been demonstrated that MgO covered γ-Al2O3 layer-by-layer forming MAO supports, which can increase surface basicity and the interaction between Pd particles and the MAO supports. Moreover, the relationship between metal and support interaction and catalytic performance was discussed.
