Multi-walled carbon nanotube-based composite materials as catalyst support for water-gas shift and hydroformylation reactions.

ABSTRACT: In times of depleting fossil fuel reserves, optimizing industrial catalytic reactions has become increasingly important. One possibility for optimization is the use of homogenous catalysts, which are advantageous over heterogeneous catalysts because of mild reaction conditions as well as higher selectivity and activity. A new emerging technology, supported ionic liquid phase (SILP), was developed to permanently immobilize homogeneous catalyst complexes for continuous processes. However, these SILP catalysts are unable to form freestanding supports by themselves. This study presents a new method to introduce the SILP system into a support made from multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT). In a first step, SILP catalysts were prepared for hydroformylation as well as low-temperature water-gas s
