Catalysts were characterized by SEM-EDX, nitrogen physisorption, XRD, UV-visible DRS, TPR, TPD of ammonia, IR-Py, O₂ chemisorption, and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. The mesoporous structure and the hexagonal arrangement of the supports were maintained in the catalysts. Ni catalysts supported on modified M-SBA-15 exhibited a higher metal-support interaction, an increase in the acidity and, as a consequence, improved selectivity to cyclohexane. The deoxygenation reaction rate constants increased as Ni/SBA-15 < Ni/Ti-SBA-15 < Ni/Nb-SBA-15 < Ni/Zr-SBA-15 < Ni/Al-SBA-ACS omega42849-42866https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC10652737biostudies-literatureBoosting the Hydrodeoxygenation Activity and Selectivity of Ni/(M)-SBA-15 Catalysts by Chemical Alteration of the Support.PMC10652737Calzada LASanchez-Ramirez MGomez-Cortes AKlimova TEPerez-Estrada DDiaz GGomora-Herrera DfalseBoosting the Hydrodeoxygenation Activity and Selectivity of Ni/(M)-SBA-15 Catalysts by Chemical Alteration of the Support.The influence of the acid sites in the hydrodeoxygenation of anisole performed over Ni catalysts supported on SBA-15 modified with metal oxides (Ni/M-SBA-15, M = Ti, Zr, Al, or Nb) was demonstrated.
