Elucidating the Structure of Bimetallic NiW/SiO2 Catalysts and Its Consequences on Selective Deoxygenation of m-Cresol to Toluene

As a non-noble metal, Ni could offer significant economic advantages if used as a catalyst for hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) of lignin-derived phenolics to produce aromatics. However, on unmodified Ni c...
