Perovskite type oxide-supported Ni catalysts for the production of 2,5-dimethylfuran from biomass-derived 5-hydroxymethylfurfural

Hydrogenolysis of biomass-derived 5-hydroxymethylfurfural to 2,5-dimethylfuran was performed over perovskite type oxide-supported Ni catalysts. A yield of 98.3% of 2,5-dimethylfuran was obtained.
