Abstract
The synergy of single Co atoms/Co clusters and CoOx nanoparticles, as well as reduced graphene oxide, enabled a Co–graphene nanomaterial to exhibit superior catalytic performance in the hydrogenation of HMF into DMF, including the omission of pre-reduction treatment, high specificity for cleavage of C![[double bond, length as m-dash]](https://www.rsc.org/images/entities/char_e001.gif)
O/C–O bonds, excellent catalytic activity and enhanced stability.
