A supported core-shell bimetallic catalyst with high selectivity, and preparation method and an application thereof are provided. SBA-15 is used as support, platinum (Pt) is used as active component, 3d transition metal is used as cocatalysts. In the core-shell bimetallic catalyst formed by the 3d transition metal and Pt, in one aspect, by the addition of the 3d metal in the core, the d-band center of surface Pt atoms is down shifted, and the absorption of propylene is weakened, thereby improving the selectivity for propylene. In another aspect, the use of Pt is reduced by the addition of the 3d transition metal, improving the utilization of Pt. The catalyst is applicable in a hydrogen atmosphere, has a good effect on the preparation of propylene by propane dehydrogenation and causes high dehydrogenation activity under high temperature conditions. The total selectivity for propylene may reach 85%, which achieves high propylene selectivity.

Nanoparticles that can be used as hydrosilylation and dehydrogenative silylation catalysts. The nanoparticles have at least one transition metal with an oxidation state of 0, chosen from the metals of columns 8, 9 and 10 of the periodic table, and at least one carbonyl ligand, preferably a silicide.

Ceramic compositions with catalytic activity are provided, along with methods for using such catalytic ceramic compositions. The ceramic compositions correspond to compositions that can acquire increased catalytic activity by cyclic exposure of the ceramic composition to reducing and oxidizing environments at a sufficiently elevated temperature. The ceramic compositions can be beneficial for use as catalysts in reaction environments involving swings of temperature and/or pressure conditions, such as a reverse flow reaction environment. Based on cyclic exposure to oxidizing and reducing conditions, the surface of the ceramic composition can be converted from a substantially fully oxidized state to various states including at least some dopant metal particles supported on a structural oxide surface.

A polyether amine catalyst is a supported metal catalyst; γ-Al.sub.2O.sub.3 is used as a carrier; basic cupric carbonate, basic nickel carbonate and basic cobalt carbonate are used as precursors of supported metals; and the polyether amine catalyst is prepared by performing twice adsorption roasting and once reduction by means of an equivalent-volumetric impregnation method. Easier decomposition is achieved by using basic carbonate, and only water and carbon dioxide are generated, such that processes and costs for treating waste gases can be saved. By using the polyether amine catalyst to prepare polyether amine, a conversion rate and primary amine selectivity can be improved, and the color of products can be reduced. Therefore, the obtained polyether amine can have higher activity and wider application.
