Diesel oil from microalgae oil: An approach for selective conversion of crude microalgae oil to diesel-range alkanes is reported using Ni nanoclusters supported on zeolite catalysts. The cascade of catalyzed reactions for microalgae oil conversion is based on a metal-catalytic function for the integrated hydrogenolysis, hydrogenation, and decarbonylation as well as an acid-catalytic function for dehydration and isomerization.
