Figure Abstract

Caption

The Cu@MFI catalyst utilizes transition-state shape selectivity by confining Cu sites within MFI micropores. This preserves framework integrity and mass transport, enabling precise control over reaction intermediates. It achieves 100% furfural conversion and 100% furfuryl alcohol selectivity at 70°C, sustained over a wide temperature range. The selectivity prevents detrimental H2O interaction with the furan ring. This pore-confinement strategy offers a strategic paradigm for achieving highly selective transformations in heterogeneous catalysis.
