Ni content influences not only the acidic properties but also the chemical state of Ni species. The catalytic performance for propene oligomerization seems to be relevant to the ratio of Ni2+/acid sites. Ni/HZSM-5 catalyst exhibits highly stability for propene oligomerization. a r t i c l e i n f o a b s t r a c t Article history: Ni/HZSM-5 catalysts with different Ni contents ranging from 0.76 to 5.05 wt.% were prepared by wet Received 25 July 2014 impregnation method. The catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and N2 adsorption, Received in revised form 28 October 2014 diffuse reflectance ultraviolet–visible spectra (UV–vis DRS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Accepted 2 December 2014 temperature-programmed desorption of ammonia (NH3-TPD) and the Fourier transform infrared spectra Available online 12 December 2014
