Lignin Gasification over Charcoal-supported Palladium and Nickel Bimetal Catalysts in Supercritical Water

Charcoal-supported palladium and nickel binary salt catalysts showed higher lignin gasification activity than the linear combination activities of the individual monometal catalysts, indicating a bimetallic synergetic effect XRD and EXAFS analyses revealed that Pd-Ni alloy structures were formed during the lignin gasification over the catalysts, which provided higher activities for the gasification than the individual monometal catalysts
