Abstract
The selective conversion of furfural is the key to the synthesis of bio-based fine chemicals, but it is still challenging due to the complexity of multi-pathway reactions. Herein, MOFs-derived 3D Cu@CN framework with layered structure were constructed via a dual-linkers strategy. The prepared Cu@CN-400 has good catalytic performance, the yield of furfuryl alcohol is more than 99%, and the catalyst can still maintain high activity after 10 cycles. The characterization and experimental results confirm that this strategy benefits the catalyst in two aspects, namely, the generation of a certain proportion of exposed Cu0 species and the formation of a layered structure with Cu embedded in nitrogen-doped carbon. The first aspect improves the activity of the catalyst, while the second aspect greatly inhibits the leaching of metal components during the reaction, thereby ensuring the stability of the catalyst. This study provides a feasible strategy for designing stable catalysts to achieve highly selective conversion of furfural.
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.
