Abstract	Describes an innovative method to design a novel bifunctional PdOx/H-ZSM-5 catalyst for selective hydrogenation of olefin. PdOx species anchored on the strong acidic sites  of zeolite support, which could not only generate new acidic sites with moderate acidic strength but exhibit good capability for H2 activation and dissociation, as well. The conversion of 1-decene is 100% and total selectivity of methyl-nonane is 98.4 ± 0.4% at 350 °C. This research provides a valuable approach to design a highly efficient bifunctional catalyst for olefin upgrading.
