	&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Merriweather, serif; font-size: 18px;&quot;&gt;This study investigated the impact of calcination temperature on the structural properties of CuAl catalyst which was found to be a robust nano-structured catalyst calcined directly without ramping at 400 °C and performed exceedingly well for aqueous phase hydrogenolysis of glycerol. Various samples of CuAl catalysts were prepared by co-precipitation at Cu: Al molar ratio 1:1 and were calcined at different temperatures (300–1000 °C). The obtained catalysts were reduced at 200 °C before their activity testing for glycerol hydrogenolysis reaction. To correlate the structure-activity, the catalysts were thoroughly characterized by XRD, XPS, BET, TEM, H&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;box-sizing: inherit; bottom: -0.25em; font-size: 13.5px; line-height: 0; position: relative; vertical-align: baseline; font-family: Merriweather, serif;&quot;&gt;2&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Merriweather, serif; font-size: 18px;&quot;&gt;-TPR, NH&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;box-sizing: inherit; bottom: -0.25em; font-size: 13.5px; line-height: 0; position: relative; vertical-align: baseline; font-family: Merriweather, serif;&quot;&gt;3&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Merriweather, serif; font-size: 18px;&quot;&gt;-TPD, and pyridine FTIR. It was observed that with an increase in calcination temperature from 300 to 700&amp;nbsp;°C, the glycerol conversion also increased from 47 to 55% with 93% selectivity to 1,2-PDO. The better performance of these catalysts was mainly related to the predominant presence of Brønsted acid sites, an appropriate ratio of the Cu&lt;/span&gt;&lt;sup style=&quot;box-sizing: inherit; font-family: Merriweather, serif;&quot;&gt;0&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Merriweather, serif; font-size: 18px;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;to CuAl&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;box-sizing: inherit; bottom: -0.25em; font-size: 13.5px; line-height: 0; position: relative; vertical-align: baseline; font-family: Merriweather, serif;&quot;&gt;2&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Merriweather, serif; font-size: 18px;&quot;&gt;O&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;box-sizing: inherit; bottom: -0.25em; font-size: 13.5px; line-height: 0; position: relative; vertical-align: baseline; font-family: Merriweather, serif;&quot;&gt;4&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Merriweather, serif; font-size: 18px;&quot;&gt; + CuO (0.33) and CuAl&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;box-sizing: inherit; bottom: -0.25em; font-size: 13.5px; line-height: 0; position: relative; vertical-align: baseline; font-family: Merriweather, serif;&quot;&gt;2&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Merriweather, serif; font-size: 18px;&quot;&gt;O&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;box-sizing: inherit; bottom: -0.25em; font-size: 13.5px; line-height: 0; position: relative; vertical-align: baseline; font-family: Merriweather, serif;&quot;&gt;4&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Merriweather, serif; font-size: 18px;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;to CuO phases (0.35), the existence of Cu&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;box-sizing: inherit; bottom: -0.25em; font-size: 13.5px; line-height: 0; position: relative; vertical-align: baseline; font-family: Merriweather, serif;&quot;&gt;2&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Merriweather, serif; font-size: 18px;&quot;&gt;O phase and the smaller Cu&lt;/span&gt;&lt;sup style=&quot;box-sizing: inherit; font-family: Merriweather, serif;&quot;&gt;0&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Merriweather, serif; font-size: 18px;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;particle size. It was shown that altering the ramping rate for the calcination temperature of 400&amp;nbsp;°C impacted the catalytic activity. The CuAl-400 (DC) (direct calcined) catalyst exhibited a maximum glycerol conversion of 60%.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
