Summary: | A novel Pt/CN catalyst was synthesized by sodium borohydride treatment. The physical and chemical properties of Pt/CN catalyst were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), brunner-emmet-teller (BET), transmission electron microscope (TEM) and High-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). The characterized results showed that the catalyst has a high specific surface area, mesoporous structure and the mean size of Pt nanoparticles is 2.59 nm. Subsequently, the catalytic performance of Pt/CN catalyst for decline dehydrogenation was studied. Pt/CN catalyst exhibited excellent performance in decalin dehydrogenation with the conversion of decalin was 30.70%, and the selectivity of naphthalene was 90.86% at 200 ℃ for 150 minutes. When the reaction temperature increased to 210 ℃, the conversion of catalyst increased to 52.02%, and the selectivity of naphthalene reduced to 90.21%. The possible reason may be attributed to the difficulty in converting decalin to tetralin. This paper would provide a novel method for the synthesis of efficient dehydrogenation catalyst of decalin..
