Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) are a class of functional anionic clays, which consist of
positively charged host layers (brucite‐like M (OH) 6 octahedra) and interlayer anions. By …

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 …

Construction jobs are more labor-intensive compared to other industries. As such,
construction workers are often required to exceed their natural physical capability to cope …

Biomass conversion to value-added chemicals and fuels over heterogeneous catalysts is
one of the top issues in green chemistry. This review focuses on recent advances in the …

Selected aldohexoses (d‐glucose, d‐mannose, and d‐galactose) and aldopentoses (d‐

Aluminium-biochar composites (Al biochars) were devised to serve as a novel
heterogeneous catalyst for isomerisation of glucose to fructose to achieve sustainable …

Layered double hydroxides (LDH) consist of positively-charged metal hydroxide layers and
negatively-charged anions and water in the interstitial layers. Due to the unique properties 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 …

The nature of the active aluminum species and their interaction with glucose in water are
studied to establish a detailed mechanism for understanding AlCl3-catalyzed glucose-to …
