Here, a MOFassistedencapsulation strategy was adopted for the precise synthesis of diatomic Pd2 sites on a ZnO support. When usedfor the acetylene semi-hydrogenation reaction, the dual-atom Pd2-ZnO catalyst exhibited improved catalytic performance,achieving complete conversion of acetylene at 125 °C with an 89% selectivity to ethene, as compared to Pd single-atom andnanoparticles. This enhancement was mainly attributed to the catalyst’s ability to dissociate H2 and facilitate the desorptionof intermediate C2H4. Moreover, the strong interaction between the support and the diatomic Pd sites was responsible for thecatalyst’s excellent stability during the long-term reaction.展开更多
