Ni-Fe Nanoparticles Supported on UiO-66-X Catalyst for Hydrogenation of Fatty Acid Esters to Alcohols.

ABSTRACT: Enhancing the performance of non-noble-metal catalysts would facilitate the economic feasibility of the chemical conversion process. Through strategies involving metal nanoparticles (MNPs) size control and support functionalization modification, Ni2Fe6/UiO-66-X-y catalysts (X stands for H, OH, CH₃, and NH₂, and y stands for the concentration of NaBH₄ solution) were prepared for the efficiently selective hydrogenation of methyl laurate (ML) to 1-dodecanol. High-concentration NaBH₄ solution facilitated the preparation of smaller-sized MNPs, while support functionalization could alter the chemical microenvironment of the support, thereby promoting electron transfer between appropriately sized MNPs and the support. In particular, the Ni2Fe6/UiO-66-NH
