Abstract
A general synthetic strategy for yolk-shell nanocrystal@ZIF-8 nanostructures has been developed. The yolk-shell nanostructures possess the functions of nanoparticle cores, microporous shells, and a cavity in between, which offer great potential in heterogeneous catalysis. The synthetic strategy involved first coating the nanocrystal cores with a layer of Cu(2)O as the sacrificial template and then a layer of polycrystalline ZIF-8. The clean Cu(2)O surface assists in the formation of the ZIF-8 coating layer and is etched off spontaneously and simultaneously during this process. The yolk-shell nanostructures were characterized by transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and nitrogen adsorption. To study the catalytic behavior, hydrogenations of ethylene, cyclohexene, and cyclooctene as model reactions were carried out over the Pd@ZIF-8 catalysts. The microporous ZIF-8 shell provides excellent molecular-size selectivity. The results show high activity for the ethylene and cyclohexene hydrogenations but not in the cyclooctene hydrogenation. Different activation energies for cyclohexene hydrogenation were obtained for nanostructures with and without the cavity in between the core and the shell. This demonstrates the importance of controlling the cavity because of its influence on the catalysis.
