SYNTHETIC PROCESS OF CATALYST SUPPORT USING NATURAL CELLULOSE FIBERS AND SURFACE TREATMENT FOR THE DEPOSITION OF HIGHLY DISPERSED METAL NANO PARTICLES ON THEM, AND THE PREPARATION METHOD OF THE SUPPORTED CATALYST

摘要

The present disclosure relates to a catalyst having metal catalyst nanoparticles supported on carbonized natural cellulose fibers and a method of preparing the same, whereby natural cellulose fibers are subjected to specific pretreatment to increase a surface area and form defects on the surface thereof and metal catalyst nanoparticles are then supported on the carbonized cellulose catalyst support in a highly dispersed state, thereby providing improved catalysis while allowing production of the catalyst at low cost. The catalyst may be utilized for various catalytic reactions.
