“…Additionally, the peak observed beyond 700 °C may be linked to the pyrolysis of the support material, as its reduction temperature was similar to those observed for the nonimpregnated support. Remarkably, the H 2 -TPR curve of 18Ni11Mo/CAC displayed an elongated trailing peak, which might be attributed to the shifted decomposition temperature of molybdenite to a lower temperature zone in the presence of Ni . On the other hand, it is well known that Ni facilitated the reduction of MoO 3 , which was evident from the TPR patterns of different Ni/Mo ratios of x Ni11Mo/CAC catalysts.…”
