Catalytic transformation of furfural to furfuryl alcohol and 2-methylfuran without H2 supply toward transfer hydrogenation process using 2-propanol as a H2 source was systematically investigated over the bimetallic NiCuAl and CoCuAl catalysts in comparison with the monometallic CuAl, NiAl, and CoAl...
