ABSTRACT
Phenol and its derivatives are model compounds for the pyrolysis of biomass oil. The study of the hydrodeoxygenation reaction of these compounds is of great significance to the utilization of biomass resources. Ni-based catalysts have good HDO reaction activity and are one of the choices of catalysts used in the conversion and utilization of biomass resources. This article reviews several recent studies on the application of different Ni-based catalysts to the HDO reaction of phenol and its derivatives, discusses the effects of catalyst support and preparation methods on reaction activity and selectivity, and also mentions the effect of catalyst surface acidity on product distribution. It can be concluded that the structure of the reactant, the form of the catalyst, and the conditions for the preparation of the catalyst all have an impact on the choice of the catalytic reaction pathway.
