Solvent and Dispersion Effects on the Hydrodeoxygenation of Acetic Acid on a Pd(111) Model Surface

Creator:

Rebarchik, Michael A.

Abstract:

Increased dependence on fossil fuels and concerns of anthropogenic climate change have led to increased interest in alternative energy sources. Liquid fuels derived from renewable raw materials have gained attention in recent years due to their similarity to petroleum-based fuels. Biofuels derived through hydrodeoxygenation have been found to be one...
