Cu nanoparticles have been supported by two types of aluminosilicate materials with and without Zn in their composition in view of their application in the microwave-assisted conversion of glucose to valuable products via tandem formic acid-promoted dehydration (to 5-hydroxymethylfurfural-HMF) and further selective hydrogenation to 5-methylfurfuryl alcohol (MFA). Results show that interesting selectivities (up to 60% to MFA or HMF) could be achieved after short times of reaction (typically 2-30 min) using Cu-containing nanomaterials. Zn was found to play an interesting role in the selectivity to reduced products, even if present in very small quantities (0.2 wt%).
