Mechanism of Guaiacol Hydrodeoxygenation on Cu (111): Insights from Density Functional Theory Studies

Understanding the mechanism of the catalytic upgrade of bio-oils via the process of hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) is desirable to produce targeted oxygen-deficient bio-fuels. We have used calculations based on the density functional theory to investigate the reaction mechanism of HDO of guaiacol over Cu...
