Atmospheric hydrodeoxygenation of guaiacol over Ni₂P catalysts was investigated. Alumina, zirconia, and silica were selected as the supports. Supports are important in varying Ni₂P morphologies. Intrisic chemistry of Ni₂P catalysts based on pseudo-first-order kinetic analysis was conducted. Ni₂P/SiO₂, which hosted the smallest Ni₂P clusters, is the most effective in oxygen removal.
