Journal Article
Ibrahim, A., Liu, X., Uguna, C. N., & Sun, C. (2022). Hydrodeoxygenation of p-cresol over CuNi@C catalyst derived from metal-organic frameworks precursor. Fuel, 329, Article 125320. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.fuel.2022.125320

Catalytic hydrodeoxygenation is becoming more important industrially due to the urgent need for the conversion of oxygen-rich biomass into a renewable hydrocarbon energy source as means to tackle the climate change crisis. This research examined the... Read More about Hydrodeoxygenation of p-cresol over CuNi@C catalyst derived from metal-organic frameworks precursor.

Development of MgSO4/mesoporous silica composites for thermochemical energy storage: the role of porous structure on water adsorption (2022)
Journal Article
