<i>In situ</i> hydrogenation and decarboxylation of oleic acid into heptadecane over a Cu–Ni alloy catalyst using methanol as a hydrogen carrier

Abstract

In this work, supported Cu–Ni bimetallic catalysts were synthesized and evaluated for the <italic>in situ</italic> hydrogenation and decarboxylation of oleic acid using methanol as a hydrogen donor.
