The synthesized samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), temperature programmed desorption (TPD), temperature programmed reduction (TPR), and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). Morphology of the samples was studied by field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM) and the surface area, pore volume and pore size of the catalysts were determined by BET (Brunauer-Emmett-Teller) method. In the XRD patterns of the prepared catalysts, the H3PW12O40 (HPW) phase was observed. The FE-SEM images showed that the synthesized particles were in nanoscale. The results of TPD studies indicated that moderate acidic sites of Al2O3 supported nanocatalyst was more than the others. The catalytic activity of the nanocatalysts in hydrocracking of n-decane indicated that Al2O3 supported nanocatalyst had the highest catalytic activity. %U https://www.ijnnonline.net/article_39983_0b086238268ac313a5a9358917b172fb.pdf
