Abstract: A Pt nano-cluster/photosensitive polyimide hybrid membrane was prepared and applied to catalyze liquid phase hydrogenation of benzene. The highest selectivity for product cyclohexene is up to 72.4%. Pt nano-clusters were obtained by microwave irradiation with glycol solutions of H2PtCl6 as the platinum precursor. The average diameter of the platinum nano-particles was 3.7 nm by transmission electron microscopy.
