A bimetallic NiFe catalyst was successfully constructed to overcome the activity–selectivity trade‑off in furfural hydrogenation. The introduction of Fe dilutes continuous Ni sites, modulates the electronic structure, and creates synergistic active sites: Ni for H2 dissociation and Fe for carbonyl activation. This design boosts the selectivity toward furfuryl alcohol from 38% to >90% at nearly full conversion, while maintaining high activity and recycle stability.The results were published in Chinese Journal of Catalysis (DOI: 10.1016/S1872-2067(26)64959-5 )
About the Journal
Chinese Journal of Catalysis is co-sponsored by Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences and Chinese Chemical Society, and it is currently published by Elsevier group. This monthly journal publishes in English timely contributions of original and rigorously reviewed manuscripts covering all areas of catalysis. The journal publishes Reviews, Accounts, Communications, Articles, Highlights, Perspectives, and Viewpoints of highly scientific values that help understanding and defining of new concepts in both fundamental issues and practical applications of catalysis. Chinese Journal of Catalysis ranks among the top one journals in Applied Chemistry with a current SCI impact factor of 17.7. The Editors-in-Chief are Profs. Can Li and Tao Zhang.
