Effects of phosphorus on bond rupture during hydrodeoxygenation and dehydrogenation reactions on ruthenium
Transition metal phosphide (TMP) catalysts are selective and active towards C-O bond rupture during hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) of oxygenates, making them potential candidates for bio-oil upgrading. However, the mechanism by which the C-X (X = O, C, H) bond ruptures and the corresponding intrinsic …
