Research activities and recent developments in the area of three-dimensional zeolites and
their two-dimensional analogues are reviewed. Zeolites are the most important industrial …

Selected aldohexoses (d‐glucose, d‐mannose, and d‐galactose) and aldopentoses (d‐
xylose, l‐arabinose, and d‐ribose) are readily available components of biopolymers …

The valorization of biomass has the potential to produce molecules from renewable sources.
Among them, furfural (FUR) is one of the best platform molecules due to its reactivity. It is …

hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), a value-added platform chemical, is used as a “bridge”
between biomass raw materials and industrial application products in the process of …

The well-known interconversion of aldoses to their corresponding ketoses was discovered
more than a century ago, but has recently attracted renewed attention due to alternative …

This article reviews the recent advances in the development of zeolite catalysts for biomass
valorization processes to produce both biofuels and/or bio-based chemicals, which is an …

The catalytic conversion of renewable feedstocks into chemicals is pursued as a means to
sustainably fulfil future societal needs. Due to the oxygen-rich nature of bio-derived …

Catalytic valorisation of biomass with solid functional materials has been recognised as a
promising approach to produce value-added biochemicals and biofuels. Furanic …

The direct conversion of glucose to 5-ethoxymethylfurfural (EMF) is a promising biomass
transformation due to the potential application of the product as a biofuel. Here, the …

The production of platform chemicals from lignocellulosic biomass is scientifically valuable
but technologically challenging. With the aim to establish a green reaction system for the …
