Coprecipitated Ni–TiO2 and Ni–MnO catalysts efficiently produced higher alcohols such as ethanol, propanol and butanol from synthesis gas. These catalysts showed lower activities for ethane hydrogenolysis but much higher activities for ethylene hydroformylation than conventional supported nickel catalysts.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
