Abstract
The intermetallic compound InPd2 was prepared as single-phase material
and used in an unsupported state as catalyst in the semi-hydrogenation
of ethyne in a large excess of ethene. InPd2 showed high activity and
selectivity (up to 93%) toward ethene in the temperature range from 478
to 508 K. In addition, the compound revealed high stability during 20 h
time on stream at 473 K at 80% selectivity and >90% conversion.
Investigations by differential thermal analysis combined with
thermogravimetry (DTA/TG) in H-2 and near-ambient pressure X-ray
photoelectron spectroscopy (NAP-XPS) exclude the formation of inter
metallic hydrides, phase transitions, decomposition, and the presence of
elemental palladium. The stability of InPd2 under reaction conditions
allows addressing the influence of electronic factors on the catalytic
properties by comparison with Ga-Pd intermetallic compounds. From the
joint results of experiments and first-principles calculations, the
electronic influence on the catalytic selectivity is found to be minor;
selectivity seems to be largely governed by geometric effects - as
suggested earlier by the site-isolation concept - as well as the absence
of hydridic hydrogen. (C) 2016 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
