Reverse electron transfer in Ru/HfB<sub>2</sub> drives selective hydrogenation <i>via</i> strong metal–support coupling
Benzoic acid hydrogenation faces a persistent activity-selectivity trade-off. Ru/HfB<sub>2</sub> overcomes this challenge <i>via</i> strong metal-support interactions that generate electron-rich Ru<sup><i>δ</i>-</sup> sites, enabling >99% conversion and selectivity under optimized conditions.
