Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Biomass, as a renewable carbon resource, holds broad application prospects. Among various bio-based platform molecules, furan derivatives play a significant role in green chemical production. Notably, the conversion of 2-methylfuran (2-MF) to 3-acetyl-1-propanol (3-AP) over bifunctional catalysts has attracted considerable interest. In this study, a Pd@PHZSM-5 catalyst was prepared by encapsulating Pd nanoparticles within P-doped HZSM-5 for 2-MF conversion. The encapsulation improved Pd dispersion and metal–acid synergy, enhancing both catalytic activity and 3-AP selectivity. Additionally, phosphorus doping increased HZSM-5 crystallinity, resulting in excellent stability. This work provides a feasible strategy for optimizing metal–acid cooperation, offering theoretical guidance for bifunctional catalysis and biomass valorization.
