Popis: The hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) activity of anisole has been investigated over Ni catalysts on mixed metal oxide supports containing NbZr and TiZr in 1:1 and 1:4 ratios. XRD patterns indicate the incorporation of Ti (or Nb) into the ZrO2 framework. XPS and oxygen pulse chemisorption analyses reveal that Ni/Ti1Zr4 and Ni/Nb1Zr4 possessed more oxygen vacancy sites than Ni/Ti1Zr1 and Ni/Nb1Zr1, respectively. Correspondingly, the HDO activity of Ni/Ti1Zr4 and Ni/Nb1Zr4 was higher with an anisole conversion up to 30.7 and 34.4%, with high selectivity towards benzene (up to 64.7 and 63.3%), compared to corresponding Ni/Ti1Zr1 and Ni/Nb1Zr1 catalysts.
