Graphical Abstract

The fully-exposed Pt clusters were fabricated on the Sn-decorated nanodiamond/graphene (Pt/Sn-ND@G) hybrid support, and exhibited higher yields and better stability in the direct dehydrogenation of ethylbenzene to styrene, in comparison with the typical Pt nanoparticles.

Abstract

The pursuit of energy conservation and environmental protection has always been a hot topic in the catalytic fields, which is inseparable from the rational designing of efficient catalysts and an in-depth understanding of the catalytic reaction mechanism. In this work, fully-exposed Pt clusters were fabricated on the atomically dispersed Sn decorated nanodiamond/graphene (Sn-ND@G) hybrid support and employed for direct dehydrogenation (DDH) of ethylbenzene (EB) to styrene (ST). The detailed structural characterizations revealed the fully-exposed Pt clusters were stabilized on Sn-ND@G, assisted by the spatial separation of atomically dispersed Sn species. The as-prepared Pt/Sn-ND@G catalyst showed enhanced ST yield (136.2 molEB·molPt−1·h−1 EB conversion rate and 99.7% ST selectivity) and robust long-term stability at 500 °C for the EB DDH reaction, compared with the traditional ND@G supported Pt nanoparticle catalyst (Pt/ND@G). The ST prefers to desorb from the fully-exposed Pt clusters, resulting in the enhanced DDH catalytic performance of the Pt/Sn-ND@G catalyst. The present work paves a new way for designing highly dispersed and stable supported metal catalysts for DDH reactions.
