Relating the performances of selective phenol hydrogenation with encapsulated palladium nanoparticles and surrounding distinct LTL-zeolite microenvironments

Cyclohexanone, as a significant raw material in the production of nylon 6 and nylon 66, is preferentially synthesized via selective phenol hydrogenation while the key point is to modulate the acidic/basic properties and metal dispersion of the catalytic system. Here, we report the fabrication of [email protected] core–shell catalysts via the in-situ encapsulation of Pd nanoparticles within the L zeolite with a one-dimensional large-pore...
