Figure Abstract

Caption

Here we report an efficient catalyst with highly dispersed MoOx sites on metallic Ru for the selective hydrogenolysis of esters to alkanes under 150 ℃, which exhibits 5 times higher activity than that of the Ru/C catalyst. The highly dispersed MoOx sites on ruthenium maximize the interfacial sites and prevents the C─C bond cleavage side reaction, ensuring high conversion and selectivity to diesel-range alkanes.
