Alloying has long been used as a promising methodology to improve the catalytic
performance of metallic materials. In recent years, the field of alloy catalysis has made …

The diminishing quality of oil feedstocks coupled with increasingly more stringent
environmental regulations limiting the content of sulfur in transportation fuels have given rise …

The gas phase hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) of guaiacol, as a model compound for pyrolysis
oil, was tested on a series of novel hydroprocessing catalysts–transition metal phosphides …

The field of catalysis is continuously invigorated by the discovery of new catalytic materials.
Transition metal phosphides represent one such group of compounds that have recently …

Vapor-phase hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) of anisole over Mo 2 C catalysts at low
temperatures (420–520 K) and ambient pressure showed (1) remarkable selectivity for C–O …

Silica-and alumina-supported nickel phosphide (NixPy) catalysts have been prepared,
characterized by bulk and surface sensitive techniques, and evaluated for the …

A series of novel, high-activity supported nickel phosphide hydroprocessing catalysts
(Ni2P/SiO2) was synthesized by means of temperature-programmed reduction (TPR), and …

A study of the hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) of 4-methylphenol over unsupported, low-surface-
area MoS2, MoO2, MoO3, and MoP catalysts is reported. With the exception of MoO3, the …

Ni2P catalysts supported on mesoporous silica (MCM-41) were prepared by temperature
programmed reduction through a novel method using nickel (II) dihydrogenphosphite, Ni …

A high level of hydrodenitrogenation (HDN) is required to achieve a desirable conversion of
other hydroprocessing reactions. This results from a strong adsorption of nitrogen …
