Abstract: The transformation of biomass-derived intermediates into value-added chems. and liquid fuels is of great importance in sustainable chem. In this study, graphene oxide supported ZrO2 (ZrO2/GO) was found to be an active heterogeneous catalyst for the transfer hydrogenation of Et levulinate to γ-valerolactone (GVL) with iso-propanol as the hydrogen donor. Several important reaction parameters such as the hydrogen donor, the reaction temperature and the catalyst loading were studied in detail with the aim to get a high yield of GVL. It was found that the structure of alcs. had a great effect towards the activity of the ZrO2/GO catalyst and the selectivity of GVL. Iso-propanol was the best hydrogen donor for the transfer hydrogenation of Et levulinate to GVL. The highest GVL yield reached 91.7% with an Et levulinate conversion of 96.2% under optimal reaction conditions. More importantly, the ZrO2/GO catalyst demonstrated a high stability without the loss of its catalytic activity during the recycling experiments, which should be due to the strong interaction between GO and ZrO2. Graphical Abstract: The graphene oxide supported ZrO2 (ZrO2/GO) catalyst showed high activity for the transfer hydrogenation of Et levulinate to GVL with a high yield up to 91.7%.[Figure not available: see fulltext.].
