A new 3D mesoporous carbon replicated from commercial silica as a catalyst support for direct conversion of cellulose into ethylene glycol.
Tungsten carbide nanoparticles were supported on a new 3D mesoporous carbon replicated from commercial silica and exhibited selectivity as high as 72.9% for the catalytic conversion of cellulose into ethylene glycol.
