Furfural and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural stand out as bridges connecting biomass raw materials
to the biorefinery industry. Their reductive transformations by hydroconversion are key …

Transformation of biomass to chemicals and fuels is a long-term goal in both science and
industry. However, high cost is one of the major obstacles to the industrialization of this …

Furfural has been considered as one of the most promising platform molecules directly
derived from biomass. The hydrogenation of furfural is one of the most versatile reactions to …

Catalytic hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) of furfural (FUR) to produce 2− methylfuran (2− MeF) is
a green way to produce hydrocarbons with fuel− like properties. In this work, bimetallic Ni …

A range of Pt: Cu bimetallic nanoparticles were investigated for the liquid-phase selective
hydrogenation of furfural, an important platform biomass feedstock. Alloying of the two …

Enormous efforts have been initiated in the production of biobased fuels and value-added
chemicals via biorefinery owing to the scarcity of fossil resources and huge environmental …

The structure of alumina-supported copper-nickel catalysts prepared by impregnation
method was studied by using a combination of various characterization techniques including …

The synthesis of 2-methylfuran from biomass-based furfural is valuable in terms of
addressing current environmental problems and energy crises. In this work, a series of Cu …

Catalytic transformation of furfural to furfuryl alcohol and 2-methylfuran without H 2 supply
toward transfer hydrogenation process using 2-propanol as a H 2 source was systematically …
