In this work, nanosized MgO doped Zn catalysts (Mg1-x Znx O; x = 0.05, 0.10, 0.15, 0.20) were catalyzed the supercritical water gasification (SCWG) of oil palm frond (OPF) biomass for hydrogen production. Increased the amount of Zn in the catalyst enlarged the crystallite size, thus, reduced the sur...
