Controlling the metal–support interactions, as well as the nature of support materials, is of vital importance for enhancing the catalytic performance of supported metal catalysts. In the present work, supported nickel nanocatalysts with abundant surface defects (e.g. oxygen vacancies, Ti3+ species) were directly synthesized via a facile single-source Ni–Ti layered double hydroxide precursor route, and their catalytic performance in the liquid phase selective hydrogenation of chloronitrobenzenes to chloroanilines was investigated. A series of characterization techniques including XRD, TEM, STEM, PL, XPS, H2–TPR and H2 chemisorption clearly demonstrated that the resultant Ni nanoparticles were uniformly dispersed on the surface of the Ni–Ti mixed metal oxide support formed in situ, thereby leading to strong metal–support interactions and the formation of a large amount of surface oxygen vacancies and Ti3+ species. Compared with that prepared using a conventional impregnation method, the as-formed Ni-based nanocatalysts exhibited significantly enhanced catalytic performance with a high chloroaniline yield of 99.0% under mild reaction conditions (i.e. a low hydrogen pressure of 0.2 MPa). Such an unprecedented catalytic efficiency was mainly attributed to the promotional effect of surface defects. Furthermore, the present Ni-based nanocatalysts could be reused five times without serious aggregation of active species and remarkable activity loss, indicative of high stability.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
