摘要：New catalysts based on polymeric ionic liquids were synthesized and applied into selective oxidation of benzyl alcohol. Polymeric ionic liquid microspheres (PILM) were prepared by radical polymerization, and then the cations in the imidazole ring were exchanged with the metal anions. After that, the metal anions were reduced to Pd nanoparticles that was supported on the surface of PILM. This metal loading method favored the maximum amount of supported Pd nanoparticles that were uniformly distributed on the surface of PILM. In addition, the introduction of CeO2 prevented the aggregation of Pd nanoparticles and finally formed PILM/Pd/CeO2 catalysts with a core-shell structure. The performance of the PILM/Pd/CeO2 catalysts was evaluated by changing the [K2CO3] : [alcohol] molar ratio, reaction temperature and oxygen flow rate in the oxidation reaction of benzyl alcohol. The conversion and selectivity under the optimal reaction conditions reached 48% and 98% respectively The catalysts were effective and reusable after 5 cycles of experiments. In the end, a mechanism underlying the reaction pathway in benzyl alcohol oxidation was put forward.
