Selective aerobic oxidation of alcohols under mild conditions is of great importance yet challenging, with the activation of molecular oxygen (O₂) as a crucial capability of the catalysts. Herein, we demonstrate that an Al₂O₃-supported Pd single-atom catalyst leads to higher activity and selectivity compared to Pd nanoparticles for the oxidation of cinnamyl alcohol. The Al₂O₃ support used in this study is rich in coordinately unsaturated Al³⁺ sites, which are apt for binding to Pd atoms through oxygen bridges and present a distinct metal-support interaction (MSI). The suitable MSI then leads to a unique electronic characteristic of the Pd single atoms, which can be confirmed via X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, normalized X-ray absorption near-edge structure, and diffuse reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Moreover, this unique electronic state is proposed to be responsible for its high catalytic activity. With the help of in-situ UV-vis spectra and electron spin resonance spectra, a specific alcohol oxidation route with O₂ activation mechanism is then identified. Active oxygen species behaving chemically like singlet-O₂ are generated from the interaction of O₂ with Pd₁/Al₂O₃, and then oxidize the partially dehydrogenated intermediates produced by the adsorbed allylic alcohols and Pd atoms to the desired alkenyl aldehyde. This work provides a promising path for the design and development of high-activity catalysts for aerobic oxidation reactions.
