Abstract Pd catalysts anchored on manganese oxide octahedral molecular sieves (OMS-2) were synthesized by photo-deposition method, and then used for one-step oxidative carbonylation of phenol to synthesize diphenyl carbonate (DPC). The results showed that the catalytic activity of Pd/OMS-2 catalyst prepared by photo-deposition was apparently better than those prepared by the traditional precipitation and impregnation method, the distribution of Pd particles was more uniform with the average size of 1.3 nm. This may result from the strong interaction between the carriers and the active Pd species. Irradiated for 5 h at pH 5.0, with the Pd loading of 2.5 wt%, the highest DPC yield of 18.1% was achieved.
