摘要: Adipic acid is a valuable chemical used to product Nylon-66, and one of the greenest ways to synthesize it is catalyzing the oxidation of cyclohexane by molecular oxygen in the absence of any other chemicals. However, it is challenging to convert cyclohexane effectively with high selectivity to adipic acid using the available catalysts. In response to the dilemma of achieving satisfactory conversion and selectivity at the same time, a remarkable Au@NaX catalyst is proposed using an improved in-situ crystallization method that exhibits Au clusters sur-rounded by X-zeolite channels. A 29.5% conversion of cyclohexane and an 85.6% selectivity to adipic acid can be obtained in a one-pot oxidation of cyclohexane at 140 degrees C, 20 bar O2, far exceeding most published results. Since determined by detailed characterizations and DFT calculations, the effective dynamic collaboration between Au clusters and zeolite inner micro-environment is the decisive role for superior catalytic performance. Specifically, the surrounding zeolite channel encourages the adsorption and activation of cyclohexane over the confined Au clusters, resulting in an unprecedented activity. The continuous oxidation of cyclohexanol and cyclohexanone to adipic acid is also vulnerable on the enclosed Au clusters, and the subsequent adipic acid can be further stabilized as a result of the strong interaction of -COOH with Na +/- in zeolite channels surrounding enclosed Au clusters. It prevents AA from poisoning active sites and generates a higher selectivity for the desired adipic acid. Our study highlighted the critical significance of the dynamic interaction between metal clusters and the zeolite channel microenvironment. It would shed light on the further high-performance catalysts designs for selective oxidation.
