Recent developments in catalytic reduction with H 2 of glycerol, which is a by-product of
biodiesel manufacture, and the involved chemistry are summarized and reviewed. There are …

The use of a Ni–CoOx–Al 2 O 3 mixed metal–metal oxide catalyst was proposed for the one-
pot direct conversion of furfural (FFA) to 1, 5-pentanediol (1, 5-PDO), which afforded a high …

Furfural is currently industrially produced from raw agricultural materials with almost no limit;
however, its market volume is very limited due to its monofunctionalized furan structure …

Highlights•Metal-oxide–modified metal catalysts (M-M'O x) are effective in
hydrodeoxygenation.•The performance is strongly influenced by the M'/M molar ratio.•The …

Biomass has attracted great attention as a carbon source for the production of valuable
chemicals and fuels. Selective ring-opening hydrogenation of cyclic oxygenates derived …

Supported molybdenum oxide (MoO x) and tungsten oxide (WO x) materials are a vital class
of solid acid catalysts for the chemical industry because of their nontoxic nature, strong …

Selective ring-opening hydrogenolysis of the furan ring is the key to the efficient conversion
of furfuryl alcohol (FFA) to high-value pentanediol. In this work, highly dispersed Cu@ MgO …

Regulating interfacial electronic structure of oxide-metal composite catalyst for the selective
transformation of biomass or plastic waste into high-value chemicals through specific C–O …

Hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) of m-cresol to produce toluene over carbon-supported Pt and Pt-
WO x catalysts was studied. In stark contrast to Pt/C that exhibits only modest selectivity and …

Taking the background of the ambiguous role of oxophilic metal oxide in metal-acid
bifunctional catalysts for the important field of tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol (THFA) …
