Herein, we used modified rice husk‐derived biochar with ultra‐high specific surface area and abundant surface groups as a support to design a homologous bimetallic site catalyst containing Ni single atoms (Ni1) and Ni nanoclusters (Nin), the synergy between which is dedicated to excellent catalytic performance. The designed catalyst, Ni1+n/A‐bio‐AC, demonstrated an impressive 89.8% selectivity for odd‐numbered long‐chain alkanes during the H2‐free and solvent‐free deoxygenation of stearic acid, with a turnover frequency value over 18 times higher than conventional Ni/AC. Multiple characterizations revealed the coexistence of Ni1 and Nin on the catalyst support. Experimental and theoretical calculations showed that Nin facilitates the adsorption of fatty acid substrates. While Ni1 serves as highly dispersed Lewis acid sites, enhancing the dehydrogenation of fatty alcohol intermediates during the in situ hydrodeoxygenation and lowering the decarboxylation pathway energy barriers via electronic synergy with Nin, thus remarkably boosting the catalytic deoxygenation activity. This work provides a novel Ni dual‐site catalyst for developing biomass resource conversion technologies. 10.1002/aic.18821 http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/termsAndConditions#vor |
