The addition of Y2O3 into Ni formed a composite catalyst that selectively produced 1,5-pentanediol rather than 1,2-pentanediol in the hydrogenolysis of furfuryl alcohol at 2.0 MPa H2 and 423 K. Clearly, 1,5-pentanediol was produced over the Ni0–Y2O3 boundary. This report highlights the properties of Ni–Y2O3, catalytic performance, and reaction route in the synthesis of 1,5-pentanediol from furfuryl alcohol. © 2017 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
