Developing a powerful bifunctional catalyst for tandem reactions is essential to the future carbon neutrality by reducing the energy consumption in chemical industries. Herein, mesoporous zeolite-encapsulated palladium (Pd) nanoparticles (Pd@meso-ZSM-5) synthesized via emulsification-demulsification followed by a dry-gel transformation method were demonstrated to have a remarkable catalytic performance for a one-pot multiple tandem reaction of cyclic ketones (cyclopentanone, cyclohexanone) to bicyclic alkanes (bicyclopentane, bicyclohexane). Compared with supported catalysts (Pd/meso-ZSM-5) and microporous zeolite-encapsulated catalysts (Pd@ZSM-5) with a primary product of monocyclic alkane (cyclopentane, cyclohexane), Pd@meso-ZSM-5 shows much higher catalytic efficiency for the bicyclic alkanes synthesis, which was previously unattainable in the conventional two-step synthesis route. Controlled experiments and detailed characterizations show that mesoporosity provides sufficient space for the generation and diffusion of large molecular intermediates, and the intimate acid-Pd interface promotes the conversion of intermediates. As a result, this work proposes a design strategy for a mesoporous zeolite-encapsulated metal catalyst, which efficiently provides cooperative acid-hydrogenation catalysis.
