Phase regulation of Ni-based catalyst promotes selective hydrogenation of furfural: Effect of glycerol and Zn content

Composition control of Pd-based bimetallic alloys to boost selective hydrogenation of furfural in aqueous micelles

“…, Pd, Ni, Co and Fe, have been employed as alternatives to the Cr component. 18–27 Although non-noble metal catalysts have attracted much attention due to their abundance and inexpensiveness, they are restricted by the use of potentially toxic organic solvents and harsh reaction conditions. 26,28–32 Thus, Pd is still the preferred candidate in the selective hydrogenation of FF owing to its high intrinsic activity and low activation energy.…”

Metal–Organic Framework-Derived Cu2O–Cu2S Heterojunction Nanostructures on Copper Foams for Furfural Electrohydrogenation

“…4,5 Notably, furfuryl alcohol (FA) is a key hydrogenation product of FF, which displays extensive applications in synthetic resins, reaction solvents, and pharmaceutical intermediates. 6,7 Therefore, the catalytic conversion of FF into FA within the biomass context holds paramount significance.…”
