Researchers found a new way to turn corn stover into furfural using a special catalyst. They tested different conditions and found the best results at 200°C for 100 minutes with the catalyst in a solvent called GVL. This method gave a 93% yield of furfural, which is a lot better than using water. This process can help make better use of biomass like corn stover.
