Pd@PdBO<i>_x</i> heterostructure with strong electronic interaction to promote C─H bond activation for glycerol oxidation reaction.

ABSTRACT: Glycerol oxidation reaction (GOR) represents an economical pathway for transforming renewable feedstock to value-added chemicals. However, the inertness of C(sp³)─H bonds of glycerol and intermediates results in the high energy barrier of the dehydrogenation step, relating to poor product selectivity at high glycerol conversion. Here, a carbon nanotube-supported PdBO_x@Pd heterostructure catalyst (PdBO_x@Pd/CNTs) was synthesized in which in situ-exsoluted PdBO_x clusters covalently covered Pd nanoparticles, thus yielding strong electronic interaction between Pd nanoparticles and PdBO_x clusters. The strong electronic interaction in PdBO_x@Pd/CNTs induces the hybridization between Pd(d), B(s, p),
