The catalytic conversion of biomass and derivatives to chemicals has been the subject of
intense research efforts during the past decade resulting in a 20% annual increase in the …

Biomass has been long exploited as an anthropogenic energy source; however, the 21st
century challenges of energy security and climate change are driving resurgence in its …

In view of the diminishing oil resources and the ongoing climate change, the use of efficient
and environmentally benign technologies for the utilization of renewable resources has …

Biomass has emerged as a potential alternative feedstock to dwindling fossil fuel reserves.
Starting in the 1990s, extensive research has been directed towards the synthesis of useful …

Carbon cloths are the important materials composed of woven carbon fibres having the
diameters in the range of 5–10 μm. These materials have been investigated for innumerable …

In this Critical Review, we discuss how carbohydrates can be transformed into a variety of
chemicals through heterogeneous catalysis. We focus particularly on oxidation, reduction …

It is imperative to develop more efficient processes for conversion of biomass to liquid fuels,
such that the cost of these fuels would be competitive with the cost of fuels derived from …

Supported or unsupported ruthenium catalysts were seldom employed in the past to carry
out hydrogenation reactions in petrochemistry and chemical synthesis. Instead, these …

High-temperature calcination and reduction treatments of cobalt particles (17–20 nm)
supported on TiO 2 create cobalt particles covered with a TiO y layer. The layer thickness …

Aqueous-phase hydrogenation of d-glucose to d-sorbitol was systematically investigated
over silica-supported Pt nanoparticles to elucidate structure–reactivity relations and …
