Ni/TiO<sub>2</sub> Catalysts for Liquid-Phase Hydrogenation of Levulinic Acid to ?-Valerolactone

?-Valerolactone (GVL) is a valuable and targeted biomass derivate used as a precursor in the production of liquid fuels and polymeric materials. It also finds application as a green solvent. However, the economic viability of GVL is dependent on its production cost from biomass, which relies heavily...
