Catalyst design enables efficient biomass upgrading under ambient conditions
Researchers developed a platinum-based catalyst supported on oxygen-vacancy-rich cerium oxide (Pt/CeO2–Vo) to enhance hydrogen activation. The catalyst achieved a pyrrolidone yield of 95.2% within one hour, with high formation rates and excellent stability.
