“…The XRD results for NiMo and Pt catalysts are shown in Figure 2A,B, respectively. In both plots, the diffraction peaks occurred at 2θ of 32.8 • , 37.1 • , 39.5 • , 45.6 • , 60.7 • , and 67 • and can be indexed with the γ-Al 2 O 3 phase having different planes such as ( 220), ( 311), ( 222), ( 400), (511), and (440) [32,33]. All XRD patterns of the different catalysts do not present notable sharp characteristic peaks for the Ni, Mo and Pt oxides or metal phases, which suggests either highly dispersed Ni, Mo or Pt dispersed on the supports or that the metal loadings were low.…”
