Selective hydrogenolysis of aromatic carbon-oxygen (Caryl-O) bonds is a key strategy for the generation of aromatic chems. from lignin. However, this process is usually operated at high temperatures and pressures over hydrogenation catalysts, resulting in a low selectivity for aromatics and an extra consumption of hydrogen. Here, a series of Al-doped SBA-15 mesoporous materials with different Si/Al molar ratios (Al-SBA-15) were prepared via a post-synthesis method using NaAlO2 as the Al source, and then Al-SBA-15 supported Ni catalysts (Ni/Al-SBA-15) were prepared by a deposition-precipitation method using urea as the hydrolysis reagent. The prepared supports and catalysts were extensively characterized using various techniques such as XRD, N2 adsorption/desorption, TEM, 27Al NMR, NH3-TPD, XPS, H2-TPR, and pyridine-FT-IR, and the catalysts were evaluated in the hydrogenolysis of the Caryl-O bond in guaiacol and lignin derived compounds under mild conditions. The effects of the Si/Al ratio in catalyst and reaction parameters on guaiacol conversion and product distribution were investigated in detail, associated with solvent effect. The incorporation of Al into the framework of SBA-15 can improve the Lewis acidity and the dispersion of the supported Ni particles and yet modulate the metal-support interactions, which are propitious to the hydrogenolysis of the Caryl-O bond in guaiacol. The catalyst Ni/Al-SBA-15 with a Si/Al molar ratio of 10 shows the best performance with a guaiacol conversion of 87.4% and a phenol selectivity of 76.9% under the mild conditions conducted, because of its proper acidity, suitable metal-support interactions, and high dispersion of the active species. The present study would stimulate research and development in multi-functional catalysts for the generation of valuable chems. from biomass.
