Pd/ZSM-5-IS catalyst exhibited higher catalytic activity in PNP hydrogenation than sample prepared by impregnation method. Pd/ZSM-5-IS catalyst showed enhanced stability and sulfur tolerance for the hydrogenation reactions. Pd nanoparticles were confined in channels of ZSM-5 by in situ method, which were prevented from loss and aggregation. a r t i c l e i n f o a b s t r a c t Article history: High dispersed palladium nanoparticles with the size of about 3.8 nm confined within ZSM-5 zeolite cat- Received 9 May 2015 alyst (Pd/ZSM-5-IS) was successfully synthesized by in situ synthesis method based on azeotropic distil- Received in revised form 8 August 2015 lation assisted fabrication.
