Facile benzene reduction promoted by a synergistically coupled Cu-Co-Ce ternary mixed oxide.

ABSTRACT: Hydrogenation of aromatic rings promoted by earth-abundant metal composites under mild conditions is an attractive and challenging subject in the long term. In this work, a simple active site creation and stabilization strategy was employed to obtain a Cu⁺-containing ternary mixed oxide catalyst. Simply by pre-treatment of the ternary metal oxide precursor under a H₂ atmosphere, a Cu⁺-derived heterogeneous catalyst was obtained and denoted as Cu₁Co₅Ce₅O _x . The catalyst showed (1) high Cu⁺ species content, (2) a uniform distribution of Cu⁺ doped into the lattices of CoO _x and CeO₂, (3) formation of CoO _x /CuO _x and CeO
