A well-characterized carbon nanotube-supported nickel catalyst (Ni/CNTox) was assembled at the liquid-liquid interface and evaluated for the conversion of furfural. The nanoparticles were found to be mainly distributed on the interface of the emulsion droplets, forming stable Pickering emulsion. Catalytic activity was studied under different reaction conditions to determine an optimal condition for the rearrangement of furfural to cyclopentanone, an important precursor to valuable chemicals. It was found that the highest furfural conversion (35%) and cyclopentanone yield (25%) was obtained at 200 °C, 2 MPa of H₂ pressure, and with the same dodecane/water ratio after 1 h of reaction.

在液-液界面处组装了表征充分的碳纳米管负载的镍催化剂（Ni / CNTox），并评估了糠醛的转化率。发现纳米颗粒主要分布在乳剂液滴的界面上，形成稳定的Pickering乳剂。研究了在不同反应条件下的催化活性，以确定将糠醛重排为重要化学物质的重要前体环戊酮的最佳条件。发现在200℃，2MPa的H ₂压力和反应1小时后具有相同的十二烷/水比的情况下，获得最高的糠醛转化率（35％）和环戊酮产率（25％）。
