Self-oxidation of Au-[Bmim][Cl3] catalyst with enhanced activity and stability for acetylene hydrochlorination

Hydrochlorination of acetylene catalyzed by mesoporous carbon with hierarchical assembly of polyimide nanosheets

“…In the past few decades, gold-based catalysts have been some of the most promising catalysts among the many transition metal catalysts, such as Au-based, 7–12 Pd-based, 13–15 Ru-based, 16–20 Bi-based 21 and Cu-based 22–26 catalysts, owing to their excellent catalytic activity and stability, but the high cost and low reserve prohibit the large-scale utilization of Au-based catalysts for acetylene hydrochlorination. Recently, carbonaceous materials have generally been employed in various reactions, such as the CO 2 reduction reaction, 27 the oxygen reduction reaction, 28 cellulose hydrolysis, 29 hydrazine oxidation, 30 and so on.…”
