Pt nanoparticles supported on multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNT) were synthesized and applied in the catalytic hydrogenation of furfural, the model reaction of mild stabilization of reactive bio-oil. The catalytic properties of the catalysts were modified by changing the surface concentration of ox...
