It remains a challenge nowadays in the development of
highly efficient
catalysts for the direct synthesis of H2O2 from
H2 and O2. In this work, we developed sulfur-doped
carbon-supported Pd catalysts and systematically investigated sulfur
effects on catalytic performances through various characterizations
(transmission electron microscopy (TEM), N2 adsorption–desorption,
H2-temperature-programmed reduction (TPR)/temperature-programmed
desorption (TPD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), etc.). Results
showed that sulfur species promoted the in situ formation of Pd nanoparticles
and enhanced their dispersion on the supports. Due to the synergistic
combination of active metal and support, the catalytic performance
has been improved significantly in the direct synthesis of H2O2. The catalyst doped with the highest sulfur content
showed the highest H2O2 productivity of 7148
mmol gPd–1 h–1, which
was nearly 4 times higher than the catalyst without sulfur doping.
