Abstract
A high yield of up to 90% of 2,5-bis(hydroxymethyl)furan (BHMF) was successfully achieved through the selective hydrogenation of high-concentration (up to 20 wt%) 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) utilizing a novel Ni catalyst supported by renewable carbon under mild reaction conditions (50°C) in an aqueous medium. The superior catalytic performance is attributed to the uniformly dispersed and small-size Ni nanoparticles, which demonstrated exceptional efficiency in facilitating the hydrogenation of aldehydes and ketones, further highlighting the catalyst's potential for industrial applications.
