Selective hydrogenation of levulinic acid over a highly dispersed and stable copper particles embedded into the ordered mesoporous carbon supported catalyst

Transformation of levulinic acid (LA) to γ -valerolactone (GVL) via hydrogenation is a greener approach in synthesising the eco-friendly GVL fuel additive. In this work, highly active and stable pre-synthesized copper nanoparticles (CuNPs) are embedded and distributed into the ordered mesoporous car...
