Why are Ru/TiO2 catalysts so selective for direct deoxygenation?
Graduate student Byeongjin Baek’s computational work on elucidating the mechanism of direct deoxygenation of phenolic compounds on Ru/TiO2 catalysts has resulted in a new understanding of the roles of the support and the ruthenium metal nanoparticle. We find that for the selective C-OH cleavage to occur, it is necessary that the support can provide a […]
