The ever increasing industrial production of commodity and specialty chemicals inexorably
depletes the finite primary fossil resources available on Earth. The forecast of population …

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 …

Transformation of biomass to chemicals and fuels is a long-term goal in both science and
industry. However, high cost is one of the major obstacles to the industrialization of this …

Bio-oils are an important part of the future energy composition. This review primarily focuses
on model compounds, catalysts, and equipment involved in the hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) …

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 …

Lignocellulosic biomass; hemicellulose, has been recognized as one of the most important
renewable bioresources for production of alternative biofuels and biochemicals. The …

Activation of oxygen-containing functional groups plays a key role in sustainable biomass
upgrading and conversion. In this work, a NiMo intermetallic compound (IMC) catalyst was …

The increasing demand for sustainable energy resources has initiated the investigation of
biomass conversion over a wide range of catalysts. Among those, transition metal carbides …

Herein, we report a series of CuPd catalysts for electrochemical hydrogenation (ECH) of
furfural to 2‐methylfuran (MF or FurCH3 where Fur= furyl) in aqueous 0.1 M acetic acid (pH …

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 …
