Superior CNT-supported bimetallic RuCu catalyst for the highly selective hydrogenolysis of glycerol to 1,2-propanediol

Abstract

Selective hydrogenation of glycerol to 1,2-propanediol (1,2-PD) is a promising route for sustainable production of platform chemicals. Herein, a bimetallic RuCu catalyst supported on multiwall carbon nanotubes (RuCu/MWCNT) is reported that shows superior catalytic performance leading to 93.4% 1,2-PD selectivity under mild reactions conditions.
