Transforming how plastics are made, unmade, and remade through innovative research and
diverse partnerships that together foster environmental stewardship is critically important to …

Biomass conversion to platform chemicals, value-added chemicals, or fuels is important
because it provides a sustainable or carbon-neutral alternative to fossil fuel feedstocks …

It is a truth universally acknowledged that faster catalysts enable more efficient
transformation of molecules to useful products and enhance the utilization of natural …

Selective dehydration of polyalcohols over zeolites containing Brønsted acids is a promising
approach to purify and recycle multilayer polymer films consisting of non-polar polymers …

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

The catalytic conversion of biomass-derived furfural to 1, 3-butadiene is a potential synthetic
route to renewable rubber. In this work, we present and evaluate a conceptual process …

The acid sites of phosphorus-containing zeosils were probed through a combination of solid
acid characterization, density functional theory calculations, and kinetic interrogations …

Copper exchanged zeolites are admirable catalysts for the direct decomposition reaction of
harmful N2O gas. However, the inhibition of the decomposition reaction in the presence of …

1, 3-Pentadiene (piperylene) is an important monomer in the manufacturing of adhesives,
plastics, and resins. It can be derived from biomass by the tandem ring-opening and …

Phosphorus‐modified all‐silica zeolites exhibit activity and selectivity in certain Brønsted
acid catalyzed reactions for biomass conversion. In an effort to achieve similar performance …
