Abstract
The effect of organic precursors on catalysts was studied and the preparation of catalyst and reaction conditions were optimized. A 91% selectivity of 2,5-dimethylfuran (DMF) from the hydrogenolysis of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) was obtained on a Mo monometallic catalyst, in which nitrogen doping played a key role. Density functional theory (DFT) shows that Mo sites with N, O and C coordination have moderate adsorption strength of HMF and H2 and lower energy barrier of key steps compared with pure molybdenum nitride, molybdenum carbide and molybdenum oxide, which may be conducive to catalytic hydrogenolysis of HMF.
期刊介绍:
Catalysis Letters aim is the rapid publication of outstanding and high-impact original research articles in catalysis. The scope of the journal covers a broad range of topics in all fields of both applied and theoretical catalysis, including heterogeneous, homogeneous and biocatalysis.
The high-quality original research articles published in Catalysis Letters are subject to rigorous peer review. Accepted papers are published online first and subsequently in print issues. All contributions must include a graphical abstract. Manuscripts should be written in English and the responsibility lies with the authors to ensure that they are grammatically and linguistically correct. Authors for whom English is not the working language are encouraged to consider using a professional language-editing service before submitting their manuscripts.
