Doped catalyst supports : Controlled H doping into MoO 3 supports via H 2 spillover can effectively vary the metal–support interactions with Ir, thereby achieving efficient hydrogenation of furfural to furfuryl alcohol. One of the catalysts examined showed high activity (turnover frequency: 4.62 min −1 ) and selectivity (>99 %) under mild conditions ( T =30 °C, PH2=2 MPa). It is envisioned that further control over the nanostructures of metal oxide supports and relative H doping would boost the metal based heterogeneous catalysts.
