Data on the properties of Aquivion®/oxide hybrid catalysts for one-pot production of γ-valerolactone from furfuryl alcohol

The present dataset contains data related to the synthesis of different catalysts via an innovative spray-freeze drying technique, combining the Brønsted acidity of Aquivion® with the textural and acid properties of three different oxides (silica, titania and zirconia), as well as their physico-chemical properties. In particular, their thermal stability and textural properties were investigated, along with the impact that these features have on their catalytic performance. Data include all the results of the catalytic tests presented and discussed in the article, as well as the raw data of the materials characterization.
