Figure Abstract

Caption

A bimetallic NiFe catalyst was successfully constructed to overcome the activity–selectivity trade‑off in furfural hydrogenation. The introduction of Fe dilutes continuous Ni sites, modulates the electronic structure, and creates synergistic active sites: Ni for H2 dissociation and Fe for carbonyl activation. This design boosts the selectivity toward furfuryl alcohol from 38% to >90% at nearly full conversion, while maintaining high activity and recycle stability.
