Cycloalkanes and cyclohexanols find diverse applications, including sustainable aviation fuel, fuel additives, and value-added chemicals. These compounds can be produced via complete or selective hydrodeoxygenation(HDO) of lignin-derived phenolic monomers. In this study, a urea-assisted method was employed to control the size of Ru nanoparticles(NPs) and tune the surfaceactive sites on Ru metal supported on CNx. By adjusting the Ru-to-urea molar ratio, both the size of Ru NPs and the metallic-tooxide ratio of Ru were controlled, along with the incorporation of N atoms into the RuO2surface coordination. In the absence of urea, the Ru/CNx(1:0) catalyst, containing 4.8 nm Ru NPs, achieved complete HDO of 4-propyl guaiacol to n-propyl cyclohexane through ring saturation, followed by hydro-demethoxylation of the C–OCH3group, and hydrogenolysis of the –OH group, with a 97.0% yield at an initial H2pressure of 1.5 MPa, 200 °C, and 20 h in water. The final hydrogenolysis step was inhibited over the urea-assisted catalysts. The Ru/CNx(1:8) catalyst, containing 3.1 nm Ru NPs, achieved a maximum selectivity of 67.6% for n-propyl cyclohexanol, along with complete conversion of 4-propyl guaiacol. Similar trends were observed in the product distribution when upgrading reductive catalytic fractionation bio-oil over Ru/CNx(1:0) and Ru/CNx(1:8).

In this study, the deformation behaviors and related microstructural evolutions were investigated in either monotonic or cyclic deformation modes in an interstitial metastable high-entropy alloy. These investigations aimed to reveal the mechanisms underlying the superior low-cycle fatigue(LCF) life of this alloy.A thermomechanical process was applied to induce fine-grained(FG) and coarse-grained(CG) microstructures in Fe–30Mn–10Co–10Cr–0.4C(atomic percentage) alloy. Their superior combination of strength and ductility was attributed to the appearance of deformation-induced ε-martensite and the presence of carbon. The CG alloy showed a greater volume fraction of ε-martensite than the FG alloy in the monotonic deformation mode, and vice versa in the cyclic mode. Such a disparity was interpreted in light of the back-stress effect of the relaxed γ-grain boundaries in the latter mode. Meanwhile, the γ-to-ε phase transformation under cyclic loading at low strain amplitudes(0.4%) barely led to an improved fatigue life as compared with that at higher strain amplitudes(≥ 0.55%). The high reversibility of partial dislocation motions under cyclic loading and delaying the formation of dislocation cells through the martensitic transformation could explain why the alloys investigated in this study exhibited a superior LCF life compared with high-entropy alloys reported in previous studies.
