Significantly enhanced catalytic performance of Pd nanocatalyst on AlOOH featuring abundant solid surface frustrated Lewis pair for improved hydrogen activation

Abstract

The superior catalytic performance of Pd nanocatalysts in AlOOH-80 is attributed to solid surface frustrated Lewis pairs (ssFLP), which enhance hydrogen gas dissociation, improve Pd nanocatalyst hydrogenation, and result in high catalytic activity of Pd/AlOOH-80.
