Selective hydrogenation of anthraquinone is critical in producing H₂O₂, the strong oxidant widely used in most industrial areas. More efforts were made on the selective hydrogenation of C=O in the anthraquinone process because the sides-product will negatively affect continuous H₂O₂ production and significantly reduce the project economics. A crucial step toward high H₂O₂ yield is the rational design of heterogeneous catalysts. In this review, the metal-based catalyst design for the selective anthraquinone hydrogenation is cataloged into two significant strategies: active metal regulation and support property regulation. Research accomplished in the past decade on the catalyst design for selective anthraquinone hydrogenation is systematically reviewed. The focus is on the catalytic performance-enhancing mechanism and the factors that influence the mechanism. In addition, the limitations and barriers encountered for supported catalysts in the current study, as well as potential research trends, are discussed.

蒽醌的选择性加氢对于生产H 2 O ₂至关重要，H ₂ O 2是大多数工业领域广泛使用的强氧化剂。由于副产物会对连续生产H ₂ O ₂产生负面影响并显着降低项目经济性，因此在蒽醌法中对C=O选择性加氢进行了更多的努力。实现高H ₂ O ₂产率的关键一步是多相催化剂的合理设计。在这篇综述中，选择性蒽醌加氢的金属基催化剂设计分为两个重要策略：活性金属调节和载体性能调节。系统综述了近十年来蒽醌选择性加氢催化剂设计的研究进展。重点是催化性能增强机制以及影响该机制的因素。此外，还讨论了当前研究中负载型催化剂遇到的局限性和障碍，以及潜在的研究趋势。
