요약 | Pyrolysis biofuels are an attractive near-term solution for reducing carbon emissions from vehicles including automobiles and jets while still being compatible with current engine technology. However, in order to be used as a "drop-in" fuel, bio-oil must be upgraded into biofuel by removing oxygen, increasing hydrocarbon chain lengths, and increasing energy density. Current catalytic processes rely on expensive noble metal catalysts, and/or are not sufficiently selective in their upgrading. Molybdenum carbide (Mo2C) is a low-cost, high surface area catalyst that is known to be active for hydrogenation and other relevant reactions and was identified as a promising candidate for use as a bio-oil upgrading catalyst. The research undertaken in this dissertation aims to investigate methods to control the activity and selectivity of the Mo2C catalyst through adding promoter metals to the surface of the Mo2C catalyst. Model compounds were selected to represent important properties of bio-oil |
