Abstract
Single-atom heterogeneous catalysts (SAHCs) provide an enticing platform for understanding catalyst structure-property-performance relationships. The 100% atom utilization and adjustable local coordination configurations make it easy to probe reaction mechanisms at the atomic level. However, the progressive deactivation of metal-single-atom (MSA) with high surface energy leads to frequent limitations on their commercial viability. This review focuses on the atomistic-sensitive reactivity and atomistic-progressive deactivation of MSA to provide a unifying framework for specific functionality and potential deactivation drivers of MSA, thereby bridging function, purpose-modification structure-performance insights with the atomistic-progressive deactivation for sustainable structure-property-performance accessibility. The dominant functionalization of atomically precise MSA acting on properties and reactivity encompassing precise photocatalytic reactions is first systematically explored. Afterward, a detailed analysis of various deactivation modes of MSA and strategies to enhance their durability is presented, providing valuable insights into the design of SAHCs with deactivation-resistant stability. Finally, the remaining challenges and future perspectives of SAHCs toward industrialization, anticipating shedding some light on the next stage of atom-economic chemical/energy transformations are presented.

Abstract
Microbial conversion of CO2 to multi-carbon compounds such as acetate and butyrate is a promising valorisation technique. For those reactions, the electrochemical supply of hydrogen to the biocatalyst is a viable approach. Earlier we have shown that trace metals from microbial growth media spontaneously form in situ electro-catalysts for hydrogen evolution. Here, we show biocompatibility with the successful integration of such metal mix-based HER catalyst for immediate start-up of microbial acetogenesis (CO2 to acetate). Also, n-butyrate formation started fast (after twenty days). Hydrogen was always produced in excess, although productivity decreased over the 36 to 50 days, possibly due to metal leaching from the cathode. The HER catalyst boosted microbial productivity in a two-step microbial community bioprocess: acetogenesis by a BRH-c20a strain and acetate elongation to n-butyrate by Clostridium sensu stricto 12 (related) species. These findings provide new routes to integrate electro-catalysts and micro-organisms showing respectively bio and electrochemical compatibility.

Abstract
We report here on the reductive rearrangement of biomass-derived furfural to cyclopentanone, a promising non-fossil feedstock for fuels and chemicals. An underreported aspect of this reaction is the inevitable formation of heavy byproducts. To mitigate its formation, process condition such as, solvent, catalyst, temperature, acidity, and feed concentration were varied to unravel the chemistry and improve the reaction performance. Water medium was confirmed to play a crucial role, as organic solvents were unable to deliver cyclopentanone or heavy by products. Copper-based catalyst showed the highest selectivity for ring-rearrangement, reaching 50 mol % under the conditions investigated. The main factor influencing the yields of cyclopentanone (CPO), and promote oligomer formation, are the feed concentration and the pH, as high feed concentrations and high acidity facilitate the self-polymerization of furfuryl alcohol (FALC). This was confirmed by dedicated experiments using FALC and the hydroxypentenone intermediate as feed. The concentration challenge could be mitigated by slowly dosing the feed, which increased the desired product yields by 4-12 mol %. Nevertheless, most oligomers appeared to fall in the range of common liquid fuels and could be converted to diesel by hydrodeoxygenation.

Abstract
Access to a wide range of plastic materials has been rationalized by the increased demand from growing populations and the development of high-throughput production systems. Plastic materials at low costs with reliable properties have been utilized in many everyday products. Multibillion-dollar companies are established around these plastic materials, and each polymer takes years to optimize, secure intellectual property, comply with the regulatory bodies such as the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals and the Environmental Protection Agency and develop consumer confidence. Therefore, developing a fully sustainable new plastic material with even a slightly different chemical structure is a costly and long process. Hence, the production of the common plastic materials with exactly the same chemical structures that does not require any new registration processes better reflects the reality of how to address the critical future of sustainable plastics. In this review, we have highlighted the very recent examples on the synthesis of common monomers using chemicals from sustainable feedstocks that can be used as a like-for-like substitute to prepare conventional petrochemical-free thermoplastics.

Abstract
The heterogeneous solid-gas reactions of crystals of [Rh(L2)(propene)][BArF4] (1, L2 = tBu2PCH2CH2PtBu2) with H2 and propene, 1-butene, propyne, or 1-butyne are explored by gas-phase nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy under batch conditions at 25 °C. The temporal evolution of the resulting parahydrogen-induced polarization (PHIP) effects measures catalytic flux and thus interrogates the efficiency of catalytic pairwise para-H2 transfer, speciation changes in the crystalline catalyst at the molecular level, and allows for high-quality single-scan 1H, 13C NMR gas-phase spectra for the products to be obtained, as well as 2D-measurements. Complex 1 reacts with H2 to form dimeric [Rh(L2)(H)(μ-H)]2[BArF4]2 (4), as probed using EXAFS; meanwhile, a single-crystal of 1 equilibrates NMR silent para-H2 with its NMR active ortho isomer, contemporaneously converting into 4, and 1 and 4 each convert para-H2 into ortho-H2 at different rates. Hydrogenation of propene using 1 and para-H2 results in very high initial polarization levels in propane (>85%). Strong PHIP was also detected in the hydrogenation products of 1-butene, propyne, and 1-butyne. With propyne, a competing cyclotrimerization deactivation process occurs to afford [Rh(tBu2PCH2CH2PtBu2)(1,3,4-Me3C6H3)][BArF4], while with 1-butyne, rapid isomerization of 1-butyne occurs to give a butadiene complex, which then reacts with H2 more slowly to form catalytically active 4. Surprisingly, the high PHIP hydrogenation efficiencies allow hyperpolarization effects to be seen when H2 is taken directly from a regular cylinder at 25 °C. Finally, changing the chelating phosphine to Cy2PCH2CH2PCy2 results in initial high polarization efficiencies for propene hydrogenation, but rapid quenching of the catalyst competes to form the zwitterion [Rh(Cy2PCH2CH2PCy2){η6-(CF3)2(C6H3)}BArF3].

Abstract
Pollution and the rising energy demand have prompted the design of new synthetic reactions that meet the principles of green chemistry. In particular, alternative synthesis of 2-aminothiophene have recently focused interest because 2-aminothiophene is a unique 5-membered S-heterocycle and a pharmacophore providing antiprotozoal, antiproliferative, antiviral, antibacterial or antifungal properties. Here, we review new synthetic routes to 2-aminothiophenes, including multicomponent reactions, homogeneously- or heterogeneously-catalyzed reactions, with focus on green pathways.

Abstract
Reduced molybdenum oxides are versatile catalysts for deoxygenation and hydrodeoxygenation reactions. In this work, we have performed spin-polarized DFT calculations to investigate oxygen healing energies on reduced molybdenum oxides (reduced α-MoO3 , γ-Mo4 O11 and MoO2 ). We find that Mo+4 on MoO2 (100) is the most active for abstracting an oxygen from the oxygenated compounds. We further explored CO2 adsorption and dissociation on reduced α-MoO3 (010) and MoO2 (100). In comparison to reduced α-MoO3 (010), CO2 adsorbs more strongly on MoO2 (100). We find that CO2 dissociates on MoO2 (100) via a two-step process, the overall barrier for which is 0.6 eV. This barrier is 1.7 eV lower than that on reduced α-MoO3 (010), suggesting a much higher activity for deoxygenation of CO2 to CO. As H2 dissociation is shown to be the rate-limiting step for hydrodeoxygenation reactions, we also studied activation barriers for H2 chemisorption on MoO2 (100). We find that the chemisorption barriers are 0.7 eV lower than that reported on reduced α-MoO3 (010). Finally, we have studied the dissociation (C-O cleavage) of anisole (a lignin-based biofuel model compound) on MoO2 (100). We find that anisole binds very strongly on MoO2 (100) with an adsorption energy of -1.47 eV. According to Sabatier's principle, strongly adsorbing reactants poison the catalyst surface, which may explain the low activity of MoO2 observed during experiments for hydrodeoxygenation of anisole.

Abstract
5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) is an important bio-derived platform molecule that is generally obtained from hexoses via acid-catalyzed dehydration. It can be effectively transformed into a variety of value-added derivatives, thus being an ideal candidate for fossil replacement. Both HMF oxidation and hydrogenation processes enable the synthesis of numerous chemicals, monomers for polymerization, and biofuel precursors. This Review summarizes the most recent advances in heterogeneous catalytic hydroconversion of HMF into valuable chemicals with strong focus on 2,5-bishydroxymethyl furan (BHMF), 2,5-bishydroxymethyltetrahydrofuran (BHMTHF), and 2,5-dimethyltetrahydrofuran (DMTHF). In addition, multifunctional catalytic systems that enable a tunable production of various HMF derived intermediates are discussed. Within this chemistry, the surprising impact of HMF purity on the catalytic performance, such as selectivity and activity, during its upgrading is highlighted. Lastly, the remaining challenges in the field of HMF hydroconversion to the mentioned chemicals are summarized and discussed, taking into account the knowledge gain of catalyst properties and feedstock purity.

Abstract
Poisoning effect of nitrogen on heterogeneous, supported precious metal catalysts, along with their recycling, was further examined in the liquid-phase hydrogenation of 1-methylpyrrole (MP) to 1-methylpyrrolidine (MPD) over rhodium on carbon or γ-alumina, in methanol, under non-acidic conditions, at 25–50 °C and 10 bar. Reusing a spent, unregenerated 5% Rh/C or 5% Rh/γ-Al2O3 catalyst, it was found that the conversion of this model substrate and the activity of the catalyst were strongly dependent on the amount of catalyst, the type of support, the catalyst pre- or after-treatment, the temperature, and the number of recycling, respectively. An unexpected catalytic behaviour of rhodium was observed when it was used in a prehydrogenated form, because no complete conversion of MP was achieved over even the fresh Rh/C or Rh/γ-Al2O3, contrary to the untreated one. In addition, there was a significant difference in the reusability and activity of these rhodium catalysts, depending on their supports (activated carbon, γ-alumina). These diversions were elucidated by applying dispersion (O2- and H2-titration), temperature-programmed desorption of ammonia (NH3-TPD), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) measurements.

Abstract
The retro-aldol fragmentation of glucose is a complex reaction of industrial relevance, which provides a potentially sustainable route for the production of α-hydroxyester compounds of relevance to the green polymer industry, such as methyl lactate and methyl vinyl glycolate. Although the zeolite catalyst, Sn-Beta, has shown itself to be a promising catalyst for this process, important information concerning the stability of the catalyst during continuous operation is not yet known, and improvements to its yield of retro-aldol products are also essential. Here, we perform detailed spectroscopic studies of a selection of Sn-Beta catalysts and evaluate their performances for the retro-aldol fragmentation of glucose under continuous processing conditions, with the dual aims of developing new structure-activity-lifetime relationships for the reaction and maximizing the productivity and selectivity of the process. Kinetic studies are performed under both established reaction conditions and in the presence of additional promoters, including water and alkali salts. Generally, this study demonstrates that the reaction conditions and choice of catalyst cannot be optimized in isolation, since each catalyst explored in this study responds differently to each particular process perturbation. However, by evaluating each type of the Sn-Beta catalyst under each set of reaction conditions, we reveal that postsynthetic Sn-Beta catalysts exhibit the best levels of performance when activity, selectivity, and stability are taken into account. Specifically, the best levels of performance are obtained with a postsynthetic Sn-Beta catalyst that is preactivated in a flow of methanol prior to reaction, which provides α-hydroxyester yields over 90% at the early stages of continuous operation and operates at high yield and selectivity for over 60 h on stream. Space-time-yields over two orders of magnitude higher than any previously reported for this reaction are achieved, setting a new benchmark in terms of the retro-aldol fragmentation of glucose.

Abstract
Exploring low-energy reaction pathway of catalytic biomass conversion can lead to wider application and the achievement of sustainability objectives. Since glucose dehydrogenation to gluconic acid and H 2 is a cost-effective alternative to glucose oxidation, this study aims to elucidate its mechanism. The detection of lactone as an intermediate indicates that cyclic glucose reacts directly via its hemiacetal group-ring opening is not involved; that is, cyclic glucose is dehydrogenated to lactone, which is further hydrolyzed to gluconic acid. The source of hydrogen is confirmed to be glucose and water by Isotope tracing confirms. Density function theory (DFT) calculations demonstrate that Hemiacetal Dehydrogenation Pathway (this work) is less energy intensive than Ring-opening Oxidation Pathway (previous works). This study provides a new dehydrogenation strategy to produce gluconic acid and H 2 from biomass under mild conditions.

Abstract
Ammonia production is one of the largest industrial processes, and is currently responsible for over 1.5% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Decarbonising this process, yielding 'green ammonia', is critical not only for sustainable fertilizer production, but also to unlocking ammonia's potential as a zero-carbon fuel and hydrogen store. In this perspective, we critically assess the role of cutting-edge heterogeneous catalysts to facilitate milder ammonia synthesis conditions that will help unlock cheaper, smaller-scale, renewables-coupled ammonia production. The highly-optimised performance of catalysts under the high temperatures and pressures of the Haber-Bosch process stands in contrast to the largely mediocre activity levels reported at lower temperatures and pressures. We identify the recent advances in catalyst design that help overcome the sluggish kinetics of nitrogen activation under these conditions and undertake a categorized analysis of improved activity achieved in a range of heterogeneous catalysts. Building on these observations, we develop a 'catalyst efficiency' analysis which helps uncover the success of a holistic approach - one that addresses the issues of nitrogen activation, hydrogenation of adsorbed nitrogen species, and engineering of materials to maximize the utilization of active sites - for achieving the elusive combination of high-activity, low-temperature formulations. Furthermore, we present a discussion on the industrial considerations to catalyst development, emphasising the importance of catalyst lifetime in addition to catalyst activity. This assessment is critical to ensuring that high productivities can translate into real advances in commercial ammonia synthesis.

Abstract
Hydrogenation of levulinic acid (LA) obtained from cellulose biomass is a promising path for production of γ-valerolactone (GVL)—a component of biofuel. In this work, we developed Ru nanoparticle containing nanocomposites based on hyperbranched pyridylphenylene polymer, serving as multiligand and stabilizing matrix. The functionalization of the nanocomposite with sulfuric acid significantly enhances the activity of the catalyst in the selective hydrogenation of LA to GVL and allows the reaction to proceed under mild reaction conditions (100 °C, 2 MPa of H2) in water and low catalyst loading (0.016 mol.%) with a quantitative yield of GVL and selectivity up to 100%. The catalysts were successfully reused four times without a significant loss of activity. A comprehensive physicochemical characterization of the catalysts allowed us to assess structure-property relationships and to uncover an important role of the polymeric support in the efficient GVL synthesis.

Abstract
Xylose is a major component of hemicelluloses. In this paper, its hydrogenation to xylitol in aqueous medium was investigated with two Ru/TiO2 catalysts prepared with two commercial TiO2 supports. A strong impact of the support on catalytic performance was evidenced. Ru/TiO2-R led to fast and selective conversion of xylose (100% conversion in 2 h at 120 °C with 99% selectivity) whereas Ru/TiO2-A gave a slower and much less selective transformation (58% conversion in 4 h at 120 °C with 17% selectivity) with the formation of several by-products. Detailed characterization of the catalysts with ICP, XRD, FTIR, TEM, H2 chemisorption, N2 porosimetry, TPR and acid-base titration was performed to elucidate the role of each support. TiO2-R has a small specific surface area with large ruthenium nanoparticles in weak interaction with the TiO2 support and no acidity, whereas TiO2-A is a mesoporous material with a large specific surface area that is mildly acidic, and bears small ruthenium particles in strong interaction with the TiO2 support. The former was very active and selective for xylose hydrogenation to xylitol whereas the latter was less active and poorly selective. Moreover, careful analysis of the reaction products also revealed that anatase TiO2 can catalyze undesired side-reactions such as xylose isomerisation to various pentoses, and therefore the corresponding unexpected polyols (arabitol, ribitol) were produced during xylose conversion by hydrogenation. In a first kinetic approach, a simplified kinetic model was built to compare quantitatively intrinsic reaction rates of both catalysts. The kinetic constant for hydrogenation was 20 times higher for Ru/TiO2-R at 120 °C.

Techno-Economic Analysis of a Process for the Aqueous Conversion of Corn Stover into Lactic and Levulinic Acid through Sn-Beta Catalysis. Processes (Basel) 2021.

Abstract
A readily available source for renewable fuels and chemicals is corn stover, which consists of the leftover stalks, leaves, husks, and cobs from the corn plant and makes up nearly half of the yield of a corn crop. Common practice is to pretreat it with sulfuric acid to break down the hemicellulose, releasing xylose, followed by enzymatic hydrolysis to convert the cellulose into glucose. Using a Sn-Beta catalyst, it is possible to convert these monomeric sugars into lactic, levulinic, formic, and acetic acids. This paper presents the results of a techno-economic analysis (TEA) of the commercial feasibility of producing these acids from corn stover. Two preliminary process designs were evaluated which represent two separate reaction yields: a balanced yield of both lactic and levulinic acids and the yields from a co-catalysis with CaSO4 to produce primarily lactic acid. Both process designs are scaled to process 230,000 MT/year of corn stover. An AACS Class 4 factored broad capital cost estimate and comparable estimates of operating costs and revenues were used to generate cash flow sheets to evaluate the economic feasibility of both options. The balanced product process has an estimated NPV@20% = $3.3 million ± 40%, while the CaSO4-facilited process has an NPV@20% = $110 million ± 40% (January 2019 basis). A major hurdle for both processes is the demand for levulinic acid. The balanced product process will produce 135% of the expected global demand and the CaSO4-facilitated alternative will meet 31% of the demand. For the demand to meet production, advances in levulinic acid applications are needed. However, the attractive economics suggest that these technologies warrant further development towards commercialization.

Abstract
In this paper, we present a versatile template-directed colloidal self-assembly method for the fabrication in aqueous phase of composition-tuned mesoporous RuO2@TiO2-SiO2 catalysts. Randomly methylated β-cyclodextrin/Pluronic F127 supramolecular assemblies were used as soft templates, TiO2 colloids as building blocks, and tetraethyl orthosilicate as a silica source. Catalysts were characterized at different stages of their synthesis using dynamic light scattering, N2-adsorption analysis, powder X-ray diffraction, temperature programmed reduction, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, high-angle annular bright-field and dark-field scanning transmission electron microscopy, together with EDS elemental mapping. Results revealed that both the supramolecular template and the silica loading had a strong impact on the pore characteristics and crystalline structure of the mixed oxides, as well as on the morphology of the RuO2 nanocrystals. Their catalytic performance was then evaluated in the aqueous phase hydrogenation of levulinic acid (LA) to γ-valerolactone (GVL) under mild conditions (50 °C, 50 bar H2). Results showed that the cyclodextrin-derived catalyst displayed almost quantitative LA conversion and 99% GVL yield in less than one hour. Moreover, this catalyst could be reused at least five times without loss of activity. This work offers an effective approach to the utilization of cyclodextrins for engineering the surface morphology of Ru nanocrystals and pore characteristics of TiO2-based materials for catalytic applications in hydrogenation reactions.

Abstract
In the present study, the use of Sn-Beta zeolite to facilitate the conversion of lignocellulosic biomass-derived glucose and xylose into lactic and levulinic acid was explored. The reactions were carried out in a batch reactor using water as the solvent. Water is the preferred solvent over methanol as it reduces downstream product acid recovery and purification complexity. Optimization experiments were performed for reaction temperature and residence time. Under optimized reaction conditions, the Sn-Beta facilitated reaction of a pure sugar solution resulted in lactic acid yields of 13 and 19 wt% of inlet carbon of glucose and xylose, respectively, plus levulinic acid yields of 18 and 0.8 wt%, respectively. When actual biomass-derived sugar solutions were tested, the yields of lactic acid were significantly higher than those from the optimized model solution experiments with lactic acid yields of 34 wt%. These biomass-derived sugar solutions contained residual levels of CaSO4 from the neutralization step of the hydrolysis process. Further experiments were performed to examine the potential effects from CaSO4 contributing to this increase. It was found that the sulfate ions increased the Brønsted basicity and the calcium increased the Lewis acidity of the reaction solution, and that the combination of both effects increased the conversion of the original sugars into lactic acid. These effects were verified by testing other organic bases to isolate the Brønsted acid neutralization effect and the Lewis acid enhancement effect. The addition of CaSO4 resulted in attractive lactic acid yields, 68 wt% and 50 wt% of inlet carbon from pure glucose and xylose solutions, respectively. Increasing the actual corn stover and forage sorghum derived sugars concentration (in water) allowed lactic acids yields of greater than 60 wt% to be achieved. When the optimized Sn-Beta reaction system was applied to corn stover and forage sorghum mixtures, it was found that the ratio of lactic-to-levulinic acid generated was inversely dependent upon the glucose-to-xylose ratio in the recovered sugar mixture.

Abstract
The feasibility to convert furan, a direct derivative of furfural, to a mixture of 1,4-butanediol (BDO) and tetrahydrofuran (THF) is demonstrated with industrially acceptable performances using mm-sized pellets of a carbon-supported RePd catalyst for 2000 h of operation. The reaction schemes were unraveled by spiking potential reaction intermediates and a full kinetic model was developed. Finally, we developed a comprehensive process flow scheme that integrates the conversion of furfural to furan, the recovery and purification of furan, its reductive hydration to BDO/THF as well as the recovery and purification of BDO and THF. This process concept appears economically viable at current furfural, BDO and THF market prices.

Abstract
The isomerisation of glucose to fructose is a critical step towards manufacturing petroleum-free chemicals from lignocellulosic biomass. Herein we show that Hf-containing zeolites are unique catalysts for this reaction, enabling true thermodynamic equilibrium to be achieved in a single step during intensified continuous operation, which no chemical or biological catalyst has yet been able to achieve. Unprecedented single-pass yields of 58 % are observed at a fructose selectivity of 94 %, and continuous operation for over 100 hours is demonstrated. The unexpected performance of the catalyst is realised following a period of activation within the reactor, during which time interaction with the solvent generates a state of activity that is absent in the synthesised catalyst. Mechanistic studies by X-ray absorption spectroscopy, chemisorption FTIR, operando UV/Vis and 1 H-13 C HSQC NMR spectroscopy indicate that activity arises from isolated HfIV atoms with monofunctional acidic properties.

Abstract
The production of amine intermediates from biomass is capturing increasing attention. Herein, a simple and efficient preparation of l furan-derived amines was developed [e.g., 1-(furan-2-yl)-4-methylpentan-2-amine] with high yield (up to 95 %) from (E)-1-(furan-2-yl)-5-methylhex-1-en-3-one. The catalyst used was Ru/C, and it was recyclable up to the fourth cycle. To further realize cost-efficiency, a one-reactor tandem concept was attempted. To this aim direct reaction from furfural was investigated. A high yield (74 %) towards 1-(furan-2-yl)-4-methylpentan-2-amine could be achieved starting directly from furfural in the presence of methyl isobutyl ketone, NH3 , H2 , and Ru/C catalyst.
