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

Abstract

The high selectivities of FA (Sel. 99.9% for Pd1Cu9) and THFA (Sel. 96.2% for Pd1Ni3) were obtained under mild reaction conditions in environmentally benign micellar catalytic systems.

Heteroatom Lewis acid zeolites: synthesis, characterization and application in the conversion of biomass-derived oxygenates

“…Furfural and 5-HMF are recognized as key platform molecules that can serve as raw materials for the synthesis of value-added derivatives. 152–154 The tetrahedrally coordinated heteroatom LAS sites can adsorb both reactant and hydrogen donor simultaneously, which enables the hydrogen transfer reaction. The bifunctional catalysts containing both LASs and BASs can catalyze the multistep reactions such as the one-pot conversion of furfural to GVL.…”
