Abstract
Restructuration of AuPd/CeO2 catalysts is observed during 1,5-cyclooctadiene hydrogenation, with gold surface segregation in which gold acts as a diluent of Pd surface sites. The composition of the catalyst influences the catalytic behavior, and an optimum is observed at a Pd/Au molar ratio of 0.13, as determined by X-EDS STEM. Pd–Au/CeO2 shows higher hydrogenation rates (11.2×10−5mol/gs) versus the unpromoted Pd/CeO2 catalysts (1.7×10−5mol/gs), and the Pd/TiO2 (7.5×10−5mol/gs) catalysts used as conventional hydrogenation catalysts. Since the active sites are generated under reaction conditions, characterization of the catalysts after quenching the reaction at specific reaction times was required.
