Abstract
The tungsten oxide nanorods loaded with ruthenium nanoparticles (Ru-WO3) nanocomposite were synthesized by hydrothermal method and impregnation method. The properties of Ru-WO3 catalysts were characterized by various methods, such as BET, XRD, SEM, TEM, EDS and XPS. The results show that hydrogen spillover occurs on the surface of WO3 and the catalytic activity of Ru-WO3 in hydrogenation of cyclohexene increases with the increase of reaction time. Subsequently, the Ru-WO3 catalysts was used to hydrogenate N-propylcarbazole (NPCZ). Compare with commercial 0.5 wt% Ru–Al2O3 catalyst, Ru-WO3 can realize the rapid hydrogen uptake of NPCZ at a lower metal loading (0.34 wt%) and lower temperature (150 °C), which is attributed to the increase of reactive sites caused by hydrogen spillover.
