Furan energy platform compounds including furfural and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), can
be produced by hydrothermal conversion of biomass. After hydrodeoxygenation, these …

Catalytic reactions involve the direct interaction of reactants, intermediates and products with
the catalyst surface. We not only need to control the atomic structure and electronic …

Biomass pretreatment is considered a key step in the 2nd generation biofuel production from
lignocellulosic biomass. Research on conventional biomass pretreatment solvents has …

The plant cell wall biopolymers lignin, cellulose and hemicellulose are potential renewable
sources of clean biofuels and high-value chemicals. However, the complex 3D structure of …
