Support Effect of Metal-Organic Frameworks on Ethanol Production through Acetic Acid Hydrogenation.

ABSTRACT: We present a systematic study on the support effect of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), regarding substrate adsorption. A remarkable enhancement of both catalytic activity and selectivity for the ethanol (EtOH) production reaction through acetic acid (AcOH) hydrogenation (AH) was observed on Pt nanoparticles supported on MOFs. The systematic study on catalysis using homogeneously loaded Pt catalysts, in direct contact with seven different MOF supports (MIL-125-NH₂, UiO-66-NH₂, HKUST-1, MIL-101, Zn-MOF-74, Mg-MOF-74, and MIL-121) (abbreviated as Pt/MOFs), found that MOFs having a high affinity for the AcOH substrate (UiO-66-NH₂ and MIL-125-NH₂) showed high catalytic activity for AH. This is the first demonstration indicating that the adsorp
