Abstract
The Cover Feature illustrates the high performance of ground-breaking catalysts based on nickel nanoparticles using halloysite, a naturally occurring nanotubular clay as support in combination with cinchona alkaloids as stabilizers (quinidine and quinine), applied in hydrogenations of biomass-derived substrates. In their Research Article, D. Pla, M. Gómez and co-workers study the impact of clay functionalization on both the catalytic activity and selectivity, proving the versatility of the fully characterized catalytic composite materials (a large sort of functions were efficiently reduced), leading to valuable targets (saturated fatty acids, ethyl lactate, furfuryl alcohol, squalane, γ-valerolactone) under mild to moderate conditions. More information can be found in the Research Article by D. Pla, M. Gómez and co-workers.
