The high-value-added chemicals hydroxyacetone (HA) and 1-hydroxy-2-butanone (HB) were produced from agricultural waste over a Ni Sn -SnO catalyst. The Sn-Ni intermetallic compound and SnO acted as the active sites for HA and HB production by selectively cleaving the target C-C and C-O bonds. Approximately 70 % of the total HA and HB yield was obtained by selective hydrogenolysis of cellulose. This strategy expands the application of cellulose towards renewable production of high-value C and C keto-alcohols from cellulosic biomass.
