Furfural is currently industrially produced from raw agricultural materials with almost no limit;
however, its market volume is very limited due to its monofunctionalized furan structure …

Developing an economic catalyst to upgrade furfural to alcohols (such as linear alcohol and
cyclopentanol) is highly significant for fine chemical synthesis and biomass utilization. Here …

As green chemistry, aqueous-phase reactions play a vital role in modern fine chemical
synthesis. Herein, an encapsulated nickel in a hollow carbon sphere (Ni@ HCS) catalyst …
