a

C, conversion of furfural; Y, yield of furfuryl alcohol; S, selectivity of FAL. The values of turnover frequency (TOF) were calculated by the mole of the product furfuryl alcohol/(mole of the active metals * reaction time).

b

Zr-PN, organotriphosphate-zirconium hybrid.

c

Zr-PhyA, Zr-phytic acid hybrid.

d

The reaction uses H2O as hydrogen source.
