abstract = {Glucose–carbon hybrids were synthetized with different carbon materials, namely carbon
nanotubes, reduced graphene oxide, carbon black and activated carbon by a hydrothermal treatment.
These carbon hybrids were used as Pt-supports (1 wt.%) for the furfural (FUR) hydroconversion in the
gas phase at mild operating conditions (i.e., P = 1 atm and T = 200 ◦C). The physicochemical properties
(porosity, surface chemistry, Pt-dispersion, etc.) were analyzed by different techniques. Glucose–
carbon hybrids presented apparent surface areas between 470–500 m2 g
−1
, a neutral character and a
good distribution of small Pt-nanoparticles, some large ones with octahedral geometry being also
formed. Catalytic results showed two main reaction pathways: (i) FUR hydrogenation to furfuryl
alcohol (FOL), and (ii) decarbonylation to furane (FU). The products distribution depended on the
reaction temperature, FOL or FU being mainly produced at low (120–140 ◦C) or high temperatures
(170–200 ◦C), respectively. At intermediate temperatures, tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol was formed
by secondary FOL hydrogenation. FUR hydroconversion is a structure-sensitive reaction, roundedshape Pt-nanoparticles producing FU, while large octahedral Pt-particles favor the formation of
FOL. Pt-catalysts supported on glucose–carbon hybrids presented a better catalytic performance at
low temperature than the catalyst prepared on reference material, no catalyst deactivation being
identified after several hours on stream.},
