Activated carbons (AC) from various waste agriculture precursors with different texture and surface characteristics were obtained by different preparation procedures. These AC were used as a host matrix of mono- and bi-component copper and cobalt nanoparticles. The effect of carbon properties on the formation of copper/cobalt phases was studied by Boehm method, XRD, nitrogen physisorption, UV-Vis, FTIR, TPR-TG analysis and methanol decomposition as a catalytic test. The elucidation of activated carbons from waste biomass as catalyst support was based on the comparative study with similar materials supported on mesoporous silica KIT-6. It was demonstrated that contrary to KIT-6, the reduction properties of AC support hinders the formation of spinel CuCo2O4 phase in the bi-component materials, but provides formation of mixture of finely dispersed and highly active and selective in methanol decomposition Cu2O and CoO nanoparticles.
