Isobutanol oxidation over zeolite-Rh catalysts was studied to investigate the role of acidity. Three Y-zeolites with different Si/Al ratios were chosen for their varying acidities. Based on ammonia-TPD and chemisorption data, the acidity decreases as CBV720-Rh>CBV760-Rh>CBV780-Rh. In the partial oxidation regime, CBV780-Rh produced the most hydrogen with selectivity of 61.4%.
