Abstract: The catalytic oxidative performance of Mg-Al-Ru-CO3 hydrotalcite, Co-Al-Ru-CO3 hydrotalcite, Ru-Co(OH)2-CeO2 was well designed and tuned with substitution method. The XRD characterization presented that both the Mg-Al-Ru-CO3 catalyst and Co-Al-Ru-CO3 catalyst could keep hydrotalcite structure after the partial substitution of Al with Ru. However, after the substitution of Al with Ce, the structure of the obtained Ru-Co(OH)2-CeO2 catalyst was microcrystals of cobalt hydroxide and cerium oxide. The results of XPS and Ru K-edge XAFS suggested that the isolated Ru atom in Mg-Al-Ru-CO3 hydrotalcite was surrounded by 6 oxygen atoms with only one type of Ru-O shells, which catalyzed alcohols oxidation efficiently; the isolated Ru atom in Co-Al-Ru-CO3 hydrotalcite was surrounded by 6 oxygen atoms with two types of Ru-O shells, therein unsaturated Ru═O double bond was responsible for higher catalytic efficient for alcohols oxidation; the isolated Ru atom in Ru-Co(OH)2-CeO2 catalyst surrounded by 5 oxygen atoms with two types of Ru-O shells, therein the unsaturated coordination of Ru was the key to attain higher ability for various kinds of alcohols oxidation.
