In recent years, 2, 5-dihydroxymethylfuran (DHMF), which can be produced by the selective
hydrogenation of biomass-derived 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), has attracted great …

Mono-functional catalytic materials are used for many types of chemical transformations, but
are tedious for delivering products from multiple-step reactions required for the valorization …

Catalytic conversion of biomass-derived 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) into high-quality
biofuel 2, 5-dimethylfuran (DMF) is significant for the utilization of biomass but remains a …
