Highly Selective Sorbitol Hydrogenolysis to Liquid Alkanes over Ni/HZSM‐5 Catalysts Modified with Pure Silica MCM‐41

I can afford to be picky: Liquid alkanes can be easily generated by the selective hydrogenolysis of sorbitol over the catalyst Ni/HZSM-5. An appropriate amount of added MCM-41 can distinctly modify the structural properties of HZSM-5 and, subsequently, influence the catalytic performance of the catalyst.
