The nature of active Ni sites and the role of Al species in the oligomerization of ethylene on mesoporous Ni-Al-MCM-41 catalysts

Although nickel dispersed in mesoporous aluminosilicates are efficient catalysts for the oligomerization of ethylene, the nature of the active nickel sites still remains controversial. Here we applied in situ FTIR-CO spectroscopy during reaction with ethylene combined with reaction kinetics with onl...
