Allyl alcohol is a pivotal intermediate and it is of great importance to find a new way for the selective production of allyl alcohol from renewable and surplus glycerol. In this work, we want to report the high performance of CoFe alloy for the direct synthesis of allyl alcohol from glycerol. This alloy catalyst was prepared via the controlled calcination and reduction of CoFe-ZIF precursor. Characterization results indicate that Co can improve the activation of hydrogen and Fe enhances the acidity of prepared CoFe alloy. The activated hydrogen and acid sites in CoFe alloy played a synergistic effect for the selective formation of allyl alcohol directly from glycerol. The selectivity of allyl alcohol remained higher than 68.7 % with a 89.7 % conversion of glycerol at 250 °C, 2 MPa and WHSV = 2.6 h⁻¹. And the reaction mechanism over CoFe alloy was proposed on the basis of controlled experiments.

烯丙醇是关键的中间体，找到一种从可再生和过剩甘油选择性生产烯丙醇的新方法非常重要。在这项工作中，我们要报告CoFe合金用于由甘油直接合成烯丙醇的高性能。通过控制煅烧和还原CoFe-ZIF前体制备该合金催化剂。表征结果表明，Co可以改善氢的活化，而Fe可以提高所制备的CoFe合金的酸度。CoFe合金中的活化氢和酸性位点对直接由甘油选择性形成烯丙醇起到了协同作用。在250°C，2 MPa和WHSV = 2.6 h ^-1的条件下，甘油的转化率为89.7％，烯丙醇的选择性仍高于68.7％。。在控制实验的基础上，提出了CoFe合金上的反应机理。
