Abstract

Ru nanoparticles loaded on a Keggin-type polyoxometalate (Cs3PW12O40), which did not possess strong intrinsic acidity, efficiently catalysed the conversions of cellobiose and cellulose into sorbitol in water medium in H2 at ≤433 K. The Brønsted acid sites generated in situ from H2 have been demonstrated to play a key role in the formation of sorbitol.
