The most important contributions were reviewed relevant to the promoting action of metals
(Cu, Zn, Fe, Pd, Pt, Sn, Ga, Re) and metal oxides (Mo, W, Nb, Ca-Mg oxides) concerning …

Selective CO bond cleavage is critical in upgrading biomass derivatives to chemicals and
fuels. However, eliminating side reactions from the aromatic rings is challenging, in large …

Metal/reducible metal oxide catalysts are widely used in hydrodeoxygenation (HDO)
reactions for upgrading bio-oil to produce chemicals and fuel components. Under such …

The controllable scission of the alkyl/aryl CO bond is of great consequence for the selective
valorization of lignin-containing biomass feedstocks. Herein, a renewed heterogeneous …

Efficient hydrodeoxygenation of lignin-derived bio-oils to cycloalkanes was achieved over
bifunctional RuCoW x/NC catalyst prepared by in situ pyrolysis method. The performance of …

Lignin depolymerization to prepare valuable liquid fuels and phenolics is an important route
to improve its efficient utilization, whereas some intractable challenges remain on account of …

Bimetallic catalyst is a major group of the heterogeneous catalysts which has been widely
investigated for many important catalytic processes such as biomass upgrading. The …

Metal-metal oxide inverse catalysts are valuable in diverse applications, but selecting pairs
is challenging. Here, we investigate the role of metal cores (Pt, Ru, Rh, Pd, and Ni) in the …

Reasonable modification of Ni-based catalysts is crucial for improving their catalytic activity
in the nitroarenes hydrogenation but remaining a major challenge. Herein, a MoO x …

In recent years, studies focusing on the conversion of renewable lignin-derived oxygenates
(LDOs) have emphasized their potential as alternatives to fossil-based products. However …
