In this work, for high selectivity of cyclohexane dehydro-
genation, a series of Cu/SBA-15 catalysts were prepared
by impregnation method with different Cu content. They
show a 100% selectivity to benzene and the same Cu spe-
cies on their surface. Moreover, the smaller Cu nanoparti-
cles exhibit higher hydrogen evolution rate or lower active
energy barrier. However, they are prone to sinter after
reduction, especially to 1Cu/SBA-15 with the lowest Cu
content. The 2Cu/SBA-15 was provided with an appro-
priate Cu content, and lead to form amounts of stable and
small Cu particles after high-temperature treatment.
