ABSTRACT
The atomically dispersed metal catalyst or single-atom catalyst (SAC) with the utmost metal utilization efficiency shows excellent selectivity toward ethylene compared to the metal nanoparticles catalyst in the acetylene semi-hydrogenation reaction. However, these catalysts normally work at relatively high temperatures. Achieving low-temperature reactivity while preserving high selectivity remains a challenge. To improve the intrinsic reactivity of SACs, rationally tailoring the coordination environments of the first metal atom by coordinating it with a second neighboring metal atom affords an opportunity. Here, we report the fabrication of a dual-atom catalyst (DAC) that features a bonded Pd1-Cu1 atomic pair anchoring on nanodiamond graphene (ND@G). Compared to the single-atom Pd or Cu catalyst, it exhibits increased reactivity at a lower temperature, with 100% acetylene conversion and 92% ethylene selectivity at 110 °C. This work provides a strategy for designing DACs for low-temperature hydrogenation by manipulating the coordination environment of catalytic sites at the atomic level.
