We have examined the effect of copper oxidation state in the continuous gas phase coupled phenylacetylene hydrogenation (to styrene) with benzyl alcohol dehydrogenation (to benzaldehyde) over Cu/CeO2. Analysis by H2-TPR, XPS, XRD and STEM-EDX analyses demonstrates the generation of a range of Cu oxidation states (Cu0(13–77%), Cu+(13–74%), Cu2+(0–55%)). The stepwise formation of styrene and ethylbenzene was promoted in the stand-alone phenylacetylene hydrogenation. An increase in Cu0/Cu+(from H2-TPR and XPS) enhanced H2chemisorption and styreneTOF, but with low hydrogen utilisation efficiency. The formation of benzaldehyde and toluene was promoted in the stand-alone dehydrogenation of benzyl alcohol, where benzaldehyde selectivity andTOFcorrelate with the concentration of Cu0. Full hydrogen utilisation, exclusive benzaldehyde/styrene formation and a (3-fold) greater styreneTOF(to attain 100% yield) was achieved in the coupled process, where hydrogenation/dehydrogenation activity correlates with Cu+/Cu0. This opens new directions for sustainable “hydrogen free” hydrogenations overnon-noble Cu catalysts.
