Influence of supports for selective production of 2,5-dimethylfuran via bimetallic copper-cobalt catalyzed 5-hydroxymethylfurfural hydrogenolysis

The present study explored the use of non-noble, environmentally benign, bimetallic copper-cobalt catalysts in the selective production of 2,5-dimethylfuran via 5-hydroxymethylfurfural hydrogenolysis.
