    This study investigates the catalytic performance of bimetallic Co-Sn catalysts supported on alumina (Al<inf>2</inf>O<inf>3</inf>) for the selective hydrogenation of methyl oleate to oleyl alcohol. A strategic sequential reduction methodology, employing sodium borohydride followed by thermal hydrogen treatment (NaBH<inf>4</inf>-H<inf>2</inf>), was utilized to precisely tune the catalytic activity and chemoselectivity. Catalysts reduced solely with hydrogen at 300 °C exhibited limited efficiency, primarily favoring the formation of oleic acid via hydrogenolysis, which is attributed to the prevalence of cobalt oxide species. In contrast, the CoSnBH/Al<inf>2</inf>O<inf>3</inf> catalyst synthesized via a strategic sequential reduction methodology demonstrated a markedly enhanced selectivity toward oleyl alcohol, achieving a maximum selectivity of 54.1% at 270 °C and 8 MPa. Comprehensive characterization and kinetic analyses revealed that the superior performance stems from the synergistic coexistence of metallic cobalt (Co<sup>0</sup>) and low-valent tin oxides (SnO<inf>x</inf>), which form a bimetallic interface that preferentially polarizes the C=O bond. The catalytic efficiency was found to be highly sensitive to the nature of the support, the Co/Sn atomic ratio, and the total metal loading. Notably, turnover frequency (TOF) analysis indicated that while increased loading improves conversion, it may lead to site agglomeration and a reduction in surface-active concentration. Mechanistically, we propose that the CoSnBH/Al<inf>2</inf>O<inf>3</inf> system facilitates a direct hydrogenation pathway to oleyl alcohol, effectively bypassing the formation of heavy ester intermediates typically reported in literature.

    High fatty alcohol production (>90 % selectivity) can be achieved though the selective hydrogenation of fatty acid methyl esters over layered double hydroxide derived CuMgAlO<inf>x</inf> catalysts in a fixed-bed reactor at 250 °C under atmospheric H<inf>2</inf>. ∼17 wt.% Cu loading CuLDHs with different Mg<sup>2+</sup>/Al<sup>3+</sup> ratios (CuMg<inf>60</inf>Al<inf>40</inf>O<inf>x</inf>, CuMg<inf>70</inf>Al<inf>30</inf>O<inf>x</inf>, CuMg<inf>75</inf>Al<inf>25</inf>O<inf>x</inf>, and CuMg<inf>80</inf>Al<inf>20</inf>O<inf>x</inf>) were prepared by co-precipitation-hydrothermal method. The Cu dispersion and species were determined by H<inf>2</inf>-TPR, consecutive H<inf>2</inf>-TPR, N<inf>2</inf>O-dissociative reaction, and in situ TR-XANES. Highly dispersed Cu metal along with cationic Cu(I) species were obtained for all CuMgAlO<inf>x</inf>. The cationic Cu(I) species (Cu<sup>+</sup>/Cu<sup>+</sup>-H) content increased with Mg<sup>2+</sup> content. In the presence of H<inf>2</inf>, the cationic Cu(I) species undergo reversible interconversion between Cu<sup>+</sup> and Cu<sup>+</sup>-H species, facilitating hydrogen dissociation/evolution. The hydrogenation activity was governed by the balance of the metallic Cu surface and the cationic Cu(I) species. The Cu<sup>+</sup> species allow preferential adsorption of C[dbnd]O ester for selective hydrogenation of FAMEs to fatty alcohol (>90 % selectivity). With Cu<inf>surface</inf>/Cu(I) ratio at 0.25 (CuMg<inf>75</inf>Al<inf>25</inf>O<inf>x</inf>), the fatty alcohol production rate of 49.3 h<sup>−1</sup> was obtained with high stability due to the reversible interconversion of Cu<sup>+</sup>/Cu<sup>+</sup>-H that prevented product re-adsorption and side reactions.

    Selective hydrogenation of methyl palmitate to hexadecanol can be manipulated by tuning Cu<sup>+</sup> species and Brønsted acid sites (BAS) of copper phyllosilicate (CuPS) catalysts with K<sup>+</sup> doping. The catalysts were prepared by impregnating K<sup>+</sup> onto reduced and non-reduced CuPS. The reactions were carried out in a fixed-bed flow reactor at 250 °C under atmospheric H<inf>2</inf>. In situ TR-XANES and Py-IR suggest that the presence of K<sup>+</sup> could stabilize Cu<sup>+</sup> species and neutralize BAS. As compared to the non-reduced sample, K<sup>+</sup> loading (0.01–0.10 wt%) on the reduced CuPS provide higher Cu<sup>+</sup> fraction (10–16%), lower BAS (0.82 to 0.16μ mol/g) and lower Cu dispersion (75 to 52%). A balance between Cu<sup>0</sup> active surface and Cu<sup>+</sup> content provides an optimum hydrogenation activity (up to 80 %). The increased Cu<sup>+</sup> species, together with the decreased BAS, does not only enhance the catalyst stability, but also hexadecanol selectivity (from 35 to 60%, at ∼50% conversion).

    The selective hydrogenation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) to 2,5-bis(hydroxymethyl)furan (BHMF) using the atomically dispersed supported copper catalyst is investigated. The hydrotalcite oxide supported copper materials (Cu<inf>(x)</inf>HTO) are facilely prepared by coprecipitating metal precursors in a methanolic solution under a tuned pH. The surface characterization involving PXRD, TEM, H<inf>2</inf>/N<inf>2</inf>O-TPR, and XAS reveals unequivocal evidence for the presence of the atomically dispersed copper on HTO surface. XAS specifically indicates the formation of mononuclear copper species, and H<inf>2</inf>/N<inf>2</inf>O-TPR strongly supports the copper atoms of Cu<inf>(5)</inf>HTO are evenly distributed in 99% dispersion. Moreover, the reduced Cu<inf>(5)</inf>HTO (r-Cu<inf>(5)</inf>HTO) enables to completely hydrogenate HMF to BHMF under mild conditions, in comparison to the poor reactivity catalyzed by the hydrotalcite oxide supported copper nanoparticles (r-Cu<inf>(4)</inf>@HTO). The dramatic enhancement of HMF hydrogenation catalyzed by r-Cu<inf>(5)</inf>HTO can be attributed to the fine distribution of copper atoms which are situated homogeneously over HTO surface as well as chemically reactive for the carbonyl group.

    To improve the oxidative stability of biodiesel fuel (BDF), the polyunsaturated fatty acid methyl esters (poly-FAME) presented in commercial palm oil-derived biodiesel fuel (palm-BDF) were selectively hydrogenated to monounsaturated fatty acid methyl esters (mono-FAME) under a mild condition (80 °C, 0.5 MPa) using activated carbon (AC)-supported Pd catalysts with a Pd loading of 1 wt.%. The partially hydrotreated palm-BDF (denoted as H-FAME) which has low poly-FAME components is a new type of BDF with enhanced quality for use in high blends. In this study, we reported that the chemical states and particle sizes of Pd in the prepared Pd/AC catalysts were significantly influenced by the Pd precursors, Pd(NO3)2 and Pd(NH3)4Cl2, and thus varied their hydrogenation activity and product selectivity. The 1%Pd/AC (nit) catalyst, prepared using Pd(NO3)2, presented high performance for selective hydrogenation of poly-FAME into mono-FAME with high oxidation stability, owning to its large Pd particles (8.4 nm). Conversely, the 1%Pd/AC (amc) cata-lyst, prepared using Pd(NH3)4Cl2, contained small Pd particles (2.7 nm) with a little Cl residues, which could be completely removed by washing with an aqueous solution of 0.1 M NH4OH. The small Pd particles gave increased selectivity toward unwanted-FAME components, particularly the saturated fatty acid methyl esters during the hydrogenation of poly-FAME. This selectivity is un-profitable for improving the biodiesel quality.

    Bimetallic Ni-Cu/SiO<inf>2</inf> catalysts with different Cu loading (2–5 wt%) were developed for liquid phase selective hydrogenation of furfural to furfuryl alcohol. Among these, bimetallic 2%Ni-X%Cu/SiO<inf>2</inf> (X = 2, 5) catalysts exhibited better catalytic performances than monometallic 2%Ni/SiO<inf>2</inf> and 2%Cu/SiO<inf>2</inf>. Moreover, the bimetallic 2%Ni-5%Cu/SiO<inf>2</inf> catalyst showed the best catalytic performance with 94% of furfural conversion and 64% of furfuryl alcohol selectivity. The synergetic effect of NiCu alloy particles that are present on bimetallic Ni-Cu/SiO<inf>2</inf> catalysts change the adsorption configuration of furfural on the catalyst surface resulting in high catalytic performance in liquid phase selective hydrogenation of furfural to furfuryl alcohol.

    Flame spray-synthesized Pt/TiO<inf>2</inf> and PtCo/TiO<inf>2</inf> catalysts with 0.7 wt% Pt and 0–0.4 wt% Co were studied in the hydrogenation of furfural to furfuryl alcohol (FA) at 50 °C and 2 MPa H<inf>2</inf>. Particle formation under high temperature flame facilitated high Pt dispersion and formation of Pt-TiO<inf>x</inf> interface sites, which were beneficial for furfural conversion to FA. Modifying with Co accelerated rutile phase TiO<inf>2</inf> formation, which strongly diminished hydrogenation activity on the (FSP)-PtCo/TiO<inf>2</inf>. On the other hand, (I)-PtCo/TiO<inf>2</inf> prepared by conventional impregnation, anatase phase TiO<inf>2</inf> was preserved (> 85%) and both furfural conversion and FA selectivity increased upon increasing Co loading.
