Abstract

Highlights: [•] The bifunctional Ru/[Bmim]3PW12O40 catalyst has a high hexitol selectivity in cellulose conversion. [•] Brønsted acid sites were generated in situ via hydrogen spillover from Ru to the support. [•] The Brønsted acids work synergistically with Ru to catalyze the hydrogenolysis of cellulose.
