Abstract
). Furthermore, Pt@rGO/Sn0.8 has been demonstrated to be an efficient catalyst for the reduction of other biomass-derived compounds in water, such as furfural, vanillin or levoglucosenone. Here, the catalytic activity is remarkably boosted by Sn-butyl fragments located on the platinum surface, giving a catalyst several times faster than non-functionalized Pt@rGO.
