Catalysts supported on ceria-zirconia nano-casted from MCM-41 (CZ-41) were used to perform internal hydrogen production and deoxygenation during the decomposition of glucose in a horizontally stirred reactor. The two catalysts that were tested were NiFe/CZ-41 and trimetallic NiCoFe/CZ-41. Although the catalysts provided comparable deoxygenation results, the trimetallic catalyst yielded the most liquid product. The addition of Co makes the overall catalyst more reducible as CoFe interacts strongly with the support. Meanwhile, CZ-41 was shown to significantly impact glucose decomposition by promoting dehydration. For the batch reactor, the optimal reaction temperature was determined to be 350°C. However, future work regarding reactor design is recommended to improve internal hydrogen production.<br/><br/><br/>
