Bayberry talmin（BT）, an abundant natural plant polyphenol, was utilized to modifiy the surface of the Pt/γ-Al2O3 matrix and then stabilize Pt nanoparticles（NPs）. The catalyst was systematically and specifically characterized by a collec- tion of analytic tools including XRD, XPS, FTIR, TEM, and TG. It was found that the Pt NPs were envenly dispered on the γ-Al2O3-C matrix. Meanwhile, when the catalyst was applied for selective hydrogenation of cilmamalde- hyde（CMA） in the presence of KOH promoter in solvent, excellent catalytic performance was obtained. The selecti- vity to cinnamyl alcohol（CMO） reached 97.88% with 88.45% CMA conversion within 30 min in the presence of 0.037 mol/L KOH, without significant loss of catalytic activity even under cyclic measurements for 5 times. The excelleut catalytic performances should be ascribed predominantly to the uniform and stable dispersion ofPt NPs on the γ-Al2O3-C matrix and the excellent heat stability of BT.展开更多
