Semihydrogenation of acetylene in an ethylene-rich stream is an industrially important
process. Conventional supported monometallic Pd catalysts offer high acetylene conversion …

PdAg alloy is an industrial catalyst for acetylene-selective hydrogenation in excess ethene.
While significant efforts have been devoted to increase the selectivity, there has been little …

Semi‐hydrogenation of acetylene to ethylene is an important process to purify ethylene
streams in industry. However, among current approaches reported in the literature, high …

The promotion of hydrogenation reactions by transition-metal-based heterogeneous
catalysts was established many decades ago but is still quite common in the chemical …

Pd-based catalysts are widely used in selective hydrogenation reactions, where the surface
structure has been found as a key factor to improve the yield of the target product. However …

We designed core-Pd/shell-Ag nanocomposite catalyst (Pd@ Ag) for highly selective
semihydrogenation of alkynes. The construction of the core–shell nanocomposite enables a …

This article reviews our previous studies to develop high performance catalysts for acetylene
hydrogenation. Ethylene selectivity of Pd catalysts in acetylene hydrogenation was improved …
