Article Synopsis
- A series of bimetallic Cu-Ni phyllosilicates (Cu-NiPS) with different nickel to copper ratios were synthesized using an ammonia evaporation hydrothermal method for hydrogenation reactions.
- These catalysts effectively converted furfural (FF) to furfuryl alcohol (FA) under mild conditions, with the copper-rich variant showing the best performance (88% conversion and 90% selectivity).
- The superior catalytic activity of the copper-rich alloy is linked to its smaller particle size, higher copper content, and the beneficial interactions between nickel and copper that enhance hydrogen dissociation and stabilization of the carbonyl group.
