The total hydrodeoxygenation of carbohydrate‐derived molecules to alkanes, a key reaction
in the production of biofuel, was reviewed from the aspect of catalysis. Noble metals (or Ni) …

The selective C–C bond cleavage of mono-and bicyclic naphthenic molecules via catalytic
ring opening plays a vital role in refining low-quality fossil oils and pyrolysis oils derived from …

Pt, Rh, and Pd nanoclusters stabilized by PAMAM dendrimer are used for the first time in a
gas flow reactor at high temperature (150–250° C). Pt nanoclusters show a very high activity …

Ethane hydrogenolysis involves C–C bond rupture in unsaturated species in quasi-
equilibrium with gaseous reactants and H 2 on metal clusters, because C–C bonds weaken …

Abstract Monodisperse Pt nanoparticles (NPs) with well-controlled sizes in the range
between 1.5 and 10.8 nm, and shapes of octahedron, cube, truncated octahedron and …

Rates and locations of C–C cleavage during the hydrogenolysis of alkyl-cyclohexanes
determine the isomeric products of ring opening and the yield losses from dealkylation …

Ring-opening reactions of decalin and MCH were studied over monofunctional acid
(WO3/Al2O3) and metal (Ir/Al2O3) catalysts containing, respectively, up to 5.3 at. W/nm2 and …

The development of a bimetallic catalyst for a given reaction requires not only the selection
of the appropriate metals M1 and M2 but also the control as far as possible of the distribution …

The persistent growth in the global population has accounted for the continuous increase in
the use of gasoline-based automobile engines. Although the application of gasoline …

The influence of Ir content on the properties of Pt-Ir/Al2O3 and Pt-Ir/TiO2 catalysts for
selective ring opening of naphthenes was studied. It was found that these catalysts display a …
