Conversion of levulinic acid to γ-valerolactone over ultra-thin TiO₂ nanosheets decorated with ultrasmall Ru nanoparticle catalysts under mild conditions

Abstract

Herein, we successfully loaded Ru nanoparticles onto TiO₂ nanosheet catalyst, which could exhibit highly efficient catalytic activity during the conversion of levulinic acid to γ-valerolactone at mild condition.
