For years, fossil fuels have been the predominant feedstock for the production of chemicals,
resulting in their overexploitation and widespread environmental degradation, prompting a …

This review surveys recent advances in the applications of layered double hydroxides
(LDHs) in heterogeneous catalysis. By virtue of the flexible tunability and uniform distribution …

Over the last century, the world has become increasingly dependent on oil as its main
source of chemicals and energy. Driven largely by the strong economic growth of India and …

Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) and levulinic acid (LA) are two of the most promising chemicals
derived from biomass owing to their convertibility into a large number of chemicals having …

With the growing shortage of fossil energy and the increasing of concerns over global

5-(Hydroxymethyl) furfural (HMF) and levulinic acid production from glucose in a cascade of
reactions using a Lewis acid (CrCl3) catalyst together with a Brønsted acid (HCl) catalyst in …

5-Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) has been known as a product from hexose dehydration for
over 100 years and is considered to be one of the most promising platform molecules that …

Lignocellulose is the most abundant non-food biomass and is used as a feedstock for the
production of chemicals. Lignocellulose consists of cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin, in …

Biomass conversion to value-added chemicals and fuels over heterogeneous catalysts is
one of the top issues in green chemistry. This review focuses on recent advances in the …

The last few decades have witnessed a spiralling growth of interest in polymers from
