Mono-functional catalytic materials are used for many types of chemical transformations, but
are tedious for delivering products from multiple-step reactions required for the valorization …

Recently, valorization of lignocellulosic biomass, the most abundantly available biomass
raw material on the Earth, to biofuels and chemicals has attracted great attention worldwide …

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

Abstract γ‐Valerolactone (GVL), derived from renewable lignocellulosic biomass, has been
considered as a cost‐competitive and green platform chemical. With the increasingly …

The efficient production of light olefins from renewable biomass is a vital and challenging
target to achieve future sustainable chemical processes. Here we report a hetero-atomic MFI …

Industrial wastes and natural mixed oxide materials were evaluated as inexpensive
heterogeneous catalysts for catalytic hydrothermal liquefaction (CHTL) of food wastes. Red …

Abstract γ-Valerolactone (GVL) is a value-added renewable chemical with great potential
and can be obtained from biomass by the hydrogenation of levulinic acid (LA) using metal …

Chemical syntheses of industrially important olefins and unsaturated oxygenates from
biomass are reviewed. Their syntheses are discussed in two aspects: common key reactions …

The Brønsted acid site densities of ZSM-5, BEA and single unit cell self-pillared pentasil
(SPP) zeolites of varying Si/Al ratios were measured using a new technique, reactive gas …

Bulk characterization of a solid provides us with a spatially-averaged description of its
physical and chemical properties. These properties are not site-specific, but they are critical …
