Rational modulation of metal-support interactionis an effective strategy to enhance the catalytic performance of asupported catalyst. Here, both the activity and selectivity for thedirect H2O2synthesis from H2and O2are enhanced by the dopingof boron atoms at the interface of Pd and TiO2. With borondoping, the selectivity and productivity of H2O2are remarkedlyincreased from 63.4% and 2.99 mol H2O2gPd-1h-1to 80.1% and3.65 mol H2O2gPd-1h-1in a triphase semicontinuous reactionsystem at 10 degrees C and 0.1 MPa, respectively. The modulation effectof boron on the structure of Pd/TiO2was thoroughly studied byusing multiple techniques such as HRTEM, XRD, XPS, and in situDRIFTS. The doped boron atom almost has no effect on theparticle size of Pd nanoparticle, but enhances the strong metal-support interaction (SMSI) between the Pd particle and TiO2, which results in a change of the Pd2+/Pd0ratio and surface Pd atomsconfiguration. An appropriate amount of boron atoms doped at the Pd-TiO2interface increases the ratio of Pd2+species, providingmore active sites for the nondissociative activation of O2. Furthermore, the electronic effect between boron and Pd species increasesthe H2adsorption and activation, resulting in simultaneous increases in H2O2selectivity and productivity. This work highlights thesignificance of the modulation for metal-support interaction on direct H2O2synthesis, which also provides an effective andeconomic route by interface doping to improve the performance of supported heterogeneous catalysts.
