Following our previous report on the selective transformation of cellulose to ethylene glycol (EG) over a binary catalyst composed of tungstic acid and Ru/C, we herein report a new low‐cost but more effective binary catalyst by using Raney nickel in place of Ru/C (Raney Ni+H 2 WO 4 ). In addition to tungstic acid, other W compounds were also investigated in combination with Raney Ni. The results showed that the EG yield depended on the W compound: H 4 SiW 12 O 40
