Hydrotalcite-supported Pt nanoparticles catalyze the direct transformation of furfural to 1,2-pentanediol in a high yield of 73% under additive-free conditions. The Pt nanoparticle catalyst is easily recoverable and reusable while maintaining high activity and selectivity.
Hydroxyapatite-supported Pt–Mo bimetallic nanoparticles (Pt–Mo/HAP) catalyze the selective transformation of levulinic acid to 1,4-pentanediol under aqueous conditions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
