- Increasing the chemical selectivity, conversion and hence yield in biofuel refining remains a major challenge. Funded by an ERC proof-of-concept grant (693739 MiCARF), this multidisciplinary collaboration, led by Warwick spin-out company Stoli Catalysts Ltd (http://www.stolicatalysts.com/), investigated deliberate poisoning of Pd-catalysts with a second metal, experimentally demonstrating the possibility to alter the product selectivity and providing the opportunity to study the reaction mechanism and hydrogenation reaction pathway in further detail. Stoli Catalysts subsequently obtained further Innovate UK funding (900041) and a patent (WO2019057609) to progress the work.
