Cellulose and even spruce can be converted efficiently into valuable platform chemicals via combined hydrolysis and hydrogenation in the aqueous phase. Thereby, heteropoly acids together with supported ruthenium catalysts show not only high activity but also remarkable selectivity to sugar alcohols reaching up to 81% yield of C(4) to C(6) sugar alcohols in only 7 h at 160 °C.

Direct catalytic conversion of cellulose into ethylene glycol using nickel-promoted tungsten carbide catalysts.
TLDR
The first observation that carbonsupported tungsten carbide (W2C/AC; AC = activated carbon) can effectively catalyze cellulose conversion into polyols is reported, which indicates that the yield of polyols, especially ethylene glycol (EG) and sorbitol, can be significantly increased when the catalyst is promoted with a small amount of nickel.
