Ni-based catalysts are easy deactivated in bio-lipids deoxygenation due to metal aggregation and Ni leaching. They also suffer from the hydrocracking of C–C bonds due to strong acidity at high reaction temperature (≥ 300 ℃). Herein, a series of Ni/CeO2-Al2O3 catalysts with different Ce/Al ratio were prepared by one-pot sol-gel method. The characteristic results showed that an appropriate addition of Ce both increase the catalytic activity and stability in bio-lipids deoxygenation. The oxygen vacancies formed by Ce introduction weaken the strong interaction of Ni-Al, thus improving Ni sites dispersion. Additional, Ce-addition in NiCeAl system increases weak and medium acidity and decreases strong acidity, preventing the C–C bond cleavage of hydrocarbon. As the result, the Ni/CeAl-3.0 catalyst afforded a 97.1 % n-C17 yield at 99.9 % MO conversion under 2.5 MPa H2 at 300 ℃ for 6 h. Minor C15-16 alkanes (17 yield). After simple regeneration, n-C17 yield was recovered to 95 %. Furthermore, non-edible bio-lipids (JO and WCO) can be converted to C13-18 alkanes with 95.2 % and 93.8 % yields, respectively.

Cobalt (Co) catalysis has recently attracted significant attention in the field of biomass conversion. However, the fabrication of highly dispersive Co nanoparticles at high metal loading with selective facet exposure to achieve specific selectivity is still questionable. In this work, a nitrogen-doped carbon-supported Co catalyst is fabricated for efficient conversion of fatty acids and esters to liquid alkanes. Nitrogen-doping facilitates a highly uniform dispersion of Co nanoparticles even at a high Co loading of 10 wt% and after recycling for 5 runs. The Co/N-C catalyst affords an unconventional decarbonylation/decarboxylation (DCOx) dominant selectivity probably due to partial reduction of cobalt oxides to α-Co0 with only exposure of the (111) facet. Co-existence of Co and N-C leads to strong Lewis acidity and basicity, facilitating the interaction between catalyst and –COOH group, and some important acid-catalyzed step-reactions. The versatility of the Co/N-C catalyst is demonstrated through conversion of various fatty acids and esters.
