The nanoengineering of efficient and stable nanocatalysts is highly desired for sustainable biomass valorization toward the selective hydrogenation furfural. interaction supports with metallic nanoparticles oxygen vacancies has a significant role in catalytic activity oxide nanocatalysts. Here, by combining density functional theory (DFT) calculations experimental data, we demonstrated that presence TiO2 Ru–SiO2 catalysts might allow an association between hydrogen spillover effect....
The nanoengineering of efficient and stable catalysts is highly desired for sustainable biomass valorization towards the selective hydrogenation furfural. Here, by a combination DFT calculations catalytic experimental data, we demonstrated that presence TiO 2 in Ru-SiO might allow an association between oxygen vacancies hydrogen spillover effect, leading to Ru-TiO -SiO (Ru-TSdp Ru-TSdc) (Ru-Sdp Ru-Sdc) nanocatalysts displaying improved activities selectivities reaction mentioned above. were...
