Supported catalysts are widely used in heterogeneous catalysis processes
in which the interfacial interaction between the active phase and the support and the influence of the interfacial density on the catalytic reaction mechanism and performance have always attracted attention. The main preparation method for traditional supported catalysts is impregnation method
in which a metal precursor is deposited onto the outer surface of support
normally rendering limited contact area and relatively weak interface interaction between the active species and the support. We use the reverse design idea to construct the surrounding catalyst
and develop a simple and universal preparation method
namely the ion exchange reverse loading method
so that the metal ions of the carrier precursor can replace the metal ions of the active metal hydroxide precursor through the ion exchange reaction. After calcination and reduction
a catalyst with an active core surrounded by a carrier is formed. The unique surrounded structure presents not only high interface density and mutually changed interface
but also high stability due to the physical isolation of active phase
revealing superior catalytic performance to the traditional supported catalyst
suggesting the great potential of this new surrounded catalyst as the upgrade of supported catalyst.
