Currently, the development of alternative and green energy sources has been being strongly
pushed aiming to recoup the lack of fossil energy, to meet the ever-increasing demand of …

The development of new catalyst materials for energy-efficient chemical synthesis is critical
as over 80% of industrial processes rely on catalysts, with many of the most energy-intensive …

The production of furfuryl alcohol (FFA) from biomass-derived furfural (FF) via selective
hydrogenation is challenging due to the diverse unsaturated groups. Herein, a novel …

In aqueous mediums, the chemical environment for catalytic reactions is not only comprised
of water molecules but also of corresponding ionized species, ie, hydronium ions, which can …

Single-atom catalysts serve as a skilful control of precious metals on heterogenous catalysts
where all active sites are accessible for catalytic reactions. Here we report the adoption of …

Furfural hydrogenation to furfuryl alcohol is an industrially significant reaction for biomass
valorization. The hydrogenation process has been mainly catalyzed by chromite-based …

Controllable carbonyl group (Cdouble bondO) hydrogenation is the key to the transformation
of furfural molecules into high-value furfuryl alcohol chemicals. Herein, a non-noble copper …

With a broader objective to replace Au, Pt, and Ag-based photocatalysis, a new low-cost
bimetallic nanoalloy of CuBi has been fabricated in situ on carboxylated MWCNTs by a …

Abstract Furfural (C5H4O2) is an important platform chemical for the synthesis of next-
generation bio-fuels. Herein, we report a novel and reusable heterogeneous catalyst, Pd …

The remarkable roles of metal promoters have been known for nearly a century, but it is still
a challenge to find a suitable structure model to reveal the action mechanism behind metal …
