Deposition of Pt clusters onto MOFs-derived CeO2 by ALD for selective hydrogenation of furfural

Abstract The selective hydrogenation of furfural (FAL) to furfuryl alcohol (FOL) in liquid phase has drawn tremendous attention, while designing and preparing efficient catalysts with satisfied selectivity remains a challenge due to the coexistence of two conjugated C O and C C groups within FAL molecule. This work has depicted a simple-yet-effective strategy to load small sized Pt (
