Supported copper nanoparticles are a promising alternative to supported noble metal catalysts, in particular for the selective gas phase hydrogenation of polyunsaturated molecules. In this article, the catalytic performance of copper nanoparticles (3...
The synthesis of furan-2,5-dicarboxylic acid via catalytic oxidation of 5-hydroxymethyl furfural is an important step for the production of bio-sourced polymers. We report on the activity of SiO2-supported Au catalysts for this reaction. These cataly...
