Title: Catalysts and methods for the conversion of carbonaceous materials to liquid fuels

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a composition that includes copper (Cu), aluminum (Al), oxygen, and an element (M) that includes at least one of magnesium, cerium, and/or a transition metal, where the copper and the element are present at a first molar ratio relative to the aluminum between about 0.1:1 and about 30:1 ((Cu+M):Al), and the copper and the element are present at a second molar ratio between about 0.1:4 and about 20:1 (Cu:M).
