Molybdenum Carbide: Deoxygenation Catalyst for Converting Furfural to 2-Methylfuran
Selectively cleaving the CO bond outside the furan ring of furfural is crucial for converting this important biomass-derived molecule to value-added fuels such as 2-methylfuran. In this work, a combination of density functional theory (DFT) calculations, surface science studies, and reactor...
