Abstract
- Series of Ni‐based nanocatalysts were fabricated for the HDO of lignin‐derived guaiacol to cyclohexane via a single‐source Ni−Fe−Al layered double hydroxide precursor route and characterized by XRD, BET, TEM, XAS, XPS, H2‐TPR, H2‐TPD, NH3‐TPD, and pyridine absorbed in situ FT‐IR. As‐fabricated bimetallic NiFe nanocatalyst bearing a Fe/Ni molar ratio of 0.5 : 3 attained a higher cyclohexane yield of 70.5 % under mild reaction conditions (i. e., 230 °C and 1.0 MPa of initial hydrogen pressure), compared to monometallic Ni and other NiFe bimetallic nanocatalysts, as well as monometallic Ni and bimetallic NiFe catalysts prepared by the impregnation method. Combination of experimental results and density functional theory calculations manifested that interfacial FeOx species profoundly facilitated the demethoxylation processes of guaiacol and 2‐methoxycyclohexanol intermediate, while both bimetallic NiFe sites and interfacial FeOx species greatly promoted the dehydroxylation of cyclohexanol intermediate.
