MOF-Derived Co₃O₄ Nanoparticles Catalyzing Hydrothermal Deoxygenation of Fatty Acids for Alkane Production.

ABSTRACT: Designing economical and nonprecious catalysts with a catalytic performance as good as that of noble metals is of great importance in future renewable bioenergy production. In this study, the metal-organic framework (MOF) was applied as a precursor template to synthesize Co₃O₄ nanoparticles with a carbon matrix shell (denoted as M-Co₃O₄). To select the synthesized optimal catalyst, stearic acid was chosen as the model reactant. The effects of catalyst dosage, methanol dosage, water dosage, temperature, and reaction time on catalytic efficiency were examined. Under the designed condition, M-Co₃O₄ exhibited high catalytic performance and the catalyst showed higher conversion of stearic acid (98.7%) and selectivity toward C8-C1
