Randomized trial demonstrates selective bio-oil upgrading using Pd-mediated catalysts, implying enhanced fuel quality.

This research aims to improve the upgrading of bio-oil derived from biomass by optimizing a catalyst that minimizes structural degradation.
Developed a ternary NiPdP catalyst for selective hydrodeoxygenation.
Utilized synchrotron X-ray absorption fine structure and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy for structural analysis.
Conducted hydrogen temperature programmed reduction to investigate hydrogen activation.
Achieved > 97% selectivity for cycloalkanes with negligible C-C bond cleavage at 200 °C.
Pd incorporation resulted in significant lattice strain and compressive distortion.
Facilitated formation of ultrafine nanocrystals (3-8 nm) through a Pd-assisted hydrogen activation process.

Liu et al. (2026) studied this question.
