Abstract
Biomass-derived furanics play a pivotal role in chemical industries, with 2-methyltetrahydrofuran (2-MTHF), a hydrogenated product of levulinic acid (LA), being particularly significant. 2-MTHF finds valuable applications in the fuel, polymer, and chemical sectors, serving as a key component in P-series biofuel and acknowledged as a renewable solvent for various chemical processes. Numerous research groups have explored catalytic systems to efficiently and selectively convert LA to 2-MTHF, using diverse metal-supported catalysts in different solvents under batch or continuous process conditions. This comprehensive review delves into the impact of metal-supported catalysts, encompassing co-metals and co-catalysts, on the synthesis of 2-MTHF from LA. The article also elucidates the influence of different reaction parameters, such as temperature, type and quantity of hydrogen source, and time. Furthermore, the review provides insights into reaction mechanisms for all documented catalytic systems.

Abstract
Ni-Cu/Al-KCC-1 catalysts with different metal contents were prepared using fibrous nano-silica (Al-KCC-1) as a support. Field emission scanning electron microscopy observations showed that the spherical particle morphology and fibrous structure of the Al-KCC-1 were not changed after metal loading. Transmission electron microscopy images demonstrated that the introduction of copper improved the dispersion of the nickel, while X-ray diffraction and hydrogen temperature-programmed reduction confirmed the formation of a Ni-Cu alloy. The N2-Brunauer-Emmett-Teller specific surface areas of the catalysts were in the range of 269-378 m2/g and the average pore diameters were 7.988-12.078 nm. These Ni-Cu/Al-KCC-1 catalysts were used to promote the cracking of waste cooking oil model compound (WCOMC) to produce H2 and carbon nanotubes (CNTs), and the 10 wt% Ni-5 wt% Cu/Al-KCC-1 exhibited the highest catalytic activity. At a WCOMC flow rate of 0.04 mL/min and 750 °C, the instantaneous volume fraction of H2 reached 49.8 vol% and the content of H2 in the gaseous product was close to 71.4 vol%.

The Role of Copper in the Hydrogenation of Furfural and Levulinic Acid. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:ijms24032443. [PMID: 36768767 PMCID: PMC9916970 DOI: 10.3390/ijms24032443] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/27/2022] [Revised: 01/22/2023] [Accepted: 01/23/2023] [Indexed: 01/28/2023] Open
Abstract
Currently, there is a great interest in the development of sustainable and green technologies for production of biofuels and chemicals. In this sense, much attention is being paid to lignocellulosic biomass as feedstock, as alternative to fossil-based resources, inasmuch as its fractions can be transformed into value-added chemicals. Two important platform molecules derived from lignocellulosic sugars are furfural and levulinic acid, which can be transformed into a large spectrum of chemicals, by hydrogenation, oxidation, or condensation, with applications as solvents, agrochemicals, fragrances, pharmaceuticals, among others. However, in many cases, noble metal-based catalysts, scarce and expensive, are used. Therefore, an important effort is performed to search the most abundant, readily available, and cheap transition-metal-based catalysts. Among these, copper-based catalysts have been proposed, and the present review deals with the hydrogenation of furfural and levulinic acid, with Cu-based catalysts, into several relevant chemicals: furfuryl alcohol, 2-methylfuran, and cyclopentanone from FUR, and γ-valerolactone and 2-methyltetrahydrofuran from LA. Special emphasis has been placed on catalytic processes used (gas- and liquid-phase, catalytic transfer hydrogenation), under heterogeneous catalysis. Moreover, the effect of addition of other metal to Cu-based catalysts has been considered, as well as the issue related to catalyst stability in reusing studies.

Abstract
In this work, three types of alumina-supported bimetallic Ni-Cu catalysts [Ni-Cu/commercial non-ordered mesoporous alumina (CMA), Ni-Cu/ordered MA (OMA), and Ni-Cu-OMA] were prepared via different fabrication strategies and investigated in the conversion of levulinic acid (LA) into γ-valerolactone and 2-methyltetrahydrofuran (2-MTHF). This study employed characterization techniques and reactions to reveal the effects of the fabrication strategy on the activities of the catalysts. It was observed that the catalysts constructed on OM supports (Ni-Cu/OMA and Ni-Cu-OMA) displayed superior catalytic performance compared to those constructed on CM supports (Ni-Cu/CMA). Specifically, Ni-Cu-OMA, which was fabricated via the one-pot evaporation-induced self-assembly strategy, exhibited the best catalytic performance, achieving a complete conversion of LA and a high selectivity of 73.0 % toward 2-MTHF in a solvent-free reaction environment. The promising activity of Ni-Cu-OMA was ascribed to the well-dispersed active sites within the framework of the support, the enhanced metal-support interaction, and the highly efficient exploitation of the synergistic effect between Ni and Cu. Detailed post-characterization techniques were also employed to highlight the outstanding stability of Ni-Cu-OMA.

Abstract
Supported bimetallic Ni-Cu catalysts with different Ni-Cu loadings on alumina (Al2O3), alumina-silica (Al2O3-SiO2), alumina-magnesia (Al2O3-MgO), alumina-zinc oxide (Al2O3-ZnO), and alumina-lanthanum oxide (Al2O3-La2O3) were prepared and tested in ethanol steam reforming for the production of hydrogen (H2). These catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction, H2-temperature-programmed reduction, ammonia-temperature-programmed desorption, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, thermogravimetry, and differential scanning calorimetry. Cu addition improved the reducibility of NiO. Among the as-prepared catalysts, 30Ni5Cu/Al2O3-MgO and 30Ni5Cu/Al2O3-ZnO demonstrated much higher H2 selectivity and excellent coke resistance compared to the other investigated catalysts. Over 30Ni5Cu/Al2O3-MgO and 30Ni5Cu/Al2O3-ZnO, the respective H2 selectivity was 73.3 and 63.6% at 450 °C and increased to 94.0 and 95.2% at 600 °C. The strong interaction of Ni-Cu and Al2O3-ZnO (or Al2O3-MgO) led to the formation of smaller and highly dispersed CuO and NiO species on the carrier, which is conducive to improved catalytic performance. These Al2O3-MgO- and Al2O3-ZnO-supported bimetallic Ni-Cu materials can be promising catalysts for hydrogen production from ethanol steam reforming.

Abstract
Ether derivatives have myriad applications in several areas of chemical industry and academia. Hence, the development of more effective and sustainable protocols for their production is highly desired. Among the different methodologies reported for ether synthesis, catalytic reductive alcohol etherifications with carbonyl-based moieties (aldehydes/ketones and carboxylic acid derivatives) have emerged in the last years as a potential tool. These processes constitute appealing routes for the selective production of both symmetrical and asymmetrical ethers (including O-heterocycles) with an increased molecular complexity. Likewise, ester-to-ether catalytic reductions and hydrogenative alcohol etherifications with CO2 to dialkoxymethanes and other acetals, albeit in less extent, have undergone important advances, too. In this Review, an update of the recent progresses in the area of catalytic reductive alcohol etherifications using carbonyl-based compounds and CO2 have been described with a special focus on organic synthetic applications and catalyst design. Complementarily, recent progress made in catalytic acetal/ketal-to-ether or ester-to-ether reductions and other related transformations have been also summarized.

Abstract
Transformation of biomass to chemicals and fuels is a long-term goal in both science and industry. However, high cost is one of the major obstacles to the industrialization of this sustainable technology. Thus, developing catalysts with high activity and low-cost is of great importance for biomass conversion. The last two decades have witnessed the increasing achievement of the use of earth-abundant 3d-transition-metals in catalysis due to their low-cost, high efficiency and excellent stability. Here, we aim to review the fast development and recent advances of 3d-metal-based catalysts including Cu, Fe, Co, Ni and Mn in lignocellulosic biomass conversion. Moreover, present research trends and invigorating perspectives on future development are given.

Abstract
Levulinic acid (LA) is acknowledged one of the most promising biomass-derived platform molecules and can be transformed into various value-added chemicals. Here, we report a new reaction process for the valorization of LA derivatives under transition-metal-free condition. The protocol combined with the conversion of the levulinate to tosylhydrazone and base promoted arylation, acylation, and etherification cross-coupling. Moreover, our method was applied to synthesize three biologically active molecules, rac-curcumene, rac-xanthorrhizol and rac-4,7-dimethyl-l-tetralone. This reaction discloses a new avenue for the high-value utilization of platform molecules.

Abstract
γ-valerolactone (GVL) is an important value-added chemical with potential applications as a fuel additive, a precursor for valuable chemicals, and polymer synthesis. Herein, different monometallic and bimetallic catalysts supported on γ-Al2O3 nanofibers (Ni, Cu, Co, Ni-Cu, Ni-Co, Cu-Co) were prepared by the incipient wetness impregnation method and employed in the solvent-free hydrogenation of levulinic acid (LA) to GVL. The influence of metal loading, metal combination, and ratio on the activity and selectivity of the catalysts was investigated. XRD, SEM-EDS, TEM, H2-TPR, XPS, NH3-TPD, and N2 adsorption were used to examine the structure and properties of the catalysts. In this study, GVL synthesis involves the single-step dehydration of LA to an intermediate, followed by hydrogenation of the intermediate to GVL. Ni-based catalysts were found to be highly active for the reaction. [2:1] Ni-Cu/Al2O3 catalyst showed 100.0% conversion of LA with >99.0% selectivity to GVL, whereas [2:1] Ni-Co/Al2O3 yielded 100.0% conversion of LA with 83.0% selectivity to GVL. Moreover, reaction parameters such as temperature, H2 pressure, time, and catalyst loading were optimized to obtain the maximum GVL yield. The solvent-free hydrogenation process described in this study propels the future industrial production of GVL from LA.

Flexible energy storage electrodes with high conductivity and capacity are crucial for wearable electronic clothes. Herein, a flexible hierarchical Ni(OH)2/Cu(OH)2 interwoven nanosheets in situ coated on Ni-Cu-P alloy plated cotton fabric textile (NCO/CF), which displays perfect conductive and electrochemical performance, is prepared by electroless deposition and electrochemical oxidation method. While the Ni-Cu-P alloy layer coated on the fabric effectively contributes to excellent mechanical performance and electro-conductivity of the as-prepared NCO/CF electrode, the hierarchical Ni(OH)2/Cu(OH)2 interwoven nanosheets in the oxidation layer effectively lead to a high energy storage performance with a specific areal capacity of 4.7 C cm-2 at a current density of 2 mA cm-2. When the power density of the two-electrode system based on NCO/CF and the carbon cloth (CC) is 2.4 mW cm-2, the energy density is 1.38 mW h cm-2. Furthermore, the flexible solid-state energy storage f-NCO/CF//CC is assembled in a self-powered system and supplies continuous power for electronic devices, demonstrating that NCO/CF is promising to be applied in various energy storage devices to power portable and wearable devices in the future.

Abstract
The conversion of biomass-based platform molecules into various high-value chemicals greatly promotes the utilization of renewable biomass resources. Herein, an example of Rh-catalyzed β-arylation of levulinic-acid-derived α-angelica lactone was reported, providing the γ-lactone-structure products with high regioselectivity. Both arylboronic and alkenylboronic acids could be applied in this transformation. This reaction tolerated a variety of synthetically important functional groups. Moreover, the obtained γ-lactone products could be readily converted to high-value products such as 1,4-diols and γ-methoxy-carboxylates.

Abstract
Valerate esters (VAEs) commonly derived from levulinic acid (LA), which is deemed as one of the most promising biomass platform molecules, have been hailed as "valeric biofuels" in recent years. The cascade transformation of LA to VAEs consists of a series of acid- and metal-catalyzed processes alternately, in which heterogeneous bifunctional catalysts are required for better catalytic performance. The transformation pathway from LA to VAEs is presented, and bifunctional catalytic systems for the cascade transformation of LA into valeric acid (VA) and its esters, as well as one-pot conversion processes, are reviewed. Additionally, effects of metal and acid sites on the catalytic performance are discussed in detail. Impacts of and improvements to coke deposition, which is determined to be the primary reason for the reduction in catalytic activity, are also analyzed. Finally, feasible suggestions are proposed for enhanced catalytic performance and a reduction in overall costs.

Abstract
Bimetallic Cu-Fe catalysts with low loading were prepared for hydrogenation of ethyl levulinate (EL) to 1,4-pentanediol (1,4-PDO). Among them, 2.8Cu-3.5Fe/SBA-15 (Cu/Fe molar ratio of 1:1.5) performed best, capable of converting EL to the key intermediate γ-valerolactone (GVL) at 140 °C with 97 % yield. It can also be used to hydrogenate GVL to 1,4-PDO with 92.6 % selectivity or convert EL to 1,4-PDO in one pot. The high activity of the catalyst at such a low loading was attributed to the highly dispersed metal species and the Fe doping effect. Various characterization methods indicated that Fe acted as both structural and electronic modifier to promote the chemical properties of the Cu species. Besides, the incorporation of Fe provided abundant Lewis acid sites and accelerated the reaction process. CuFeO2 was detected by energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and XRD. On the basis of a combination of characterization and reaction kinetics, synergistic catalysis by Cu0 and CuFeO2 is considered to be responsible for the excellent performance of the Cu-Fe catalysts.

Abstract
Photolytically initiated oxidation experiments were conducted on cyclohexane and tetrahydropyran using multiplexed photoionization mass spectrometry to assess the impact of the ether functional group in the latter species on reaction mechanisms relevant to autoignition. Pseudo-first-order conditions, with [O2]0:[R•]0 > 2000, were used to ensure that R• + O2 → products were the dominant reactions. Quasi-continuous, tunable vacuum ultraviolet light from a synchrotron was employed over the range 8.0-11.0 eV to measure photoionization spectra of the products at two pressures (10 and 1520 Torr) and three temperatures (500, 600, and 700 K). Photoionization spectra of ketohydroperoxides were measured in both species and were qualitatively identical, within the limit of experimental noise, to those of analogous species formed in n-butane oxidation. However, differences were noted in the temperature dependence of ketohydroperoxide formation between the two species. Whereas the yield from cyclohexane is evident up to 700 K, ketohydroperoxides in tetrahydropyran were not detected above 650 K. The difference indicates that reaction mechanisms change due to the ether group, likely affecting the requisite •QOOH + O2 addition step. Branching fractions of nine species from tetrahydropyran were quantified with the objective of determining the role of ring-opening reactions in diminishing ketohydroperoxide. The results indicate that products formed from unimolecular decomposition of R• and •QOOH radicals via concerted C-C and C-O β-scission are pronounced in tetrahydropyran and are insignificant in cyclohexane oxidation. The main conclusion drawn is that, under the conditions herein, ring-opening pathways reduce the already low steady-state concentration of •QOOH, which in the case of tetrahydropyran prevents •QOOH + O2 reactions necessary for ketohydroperoxide formation. Carbon balance calculations reveal that products from ring opening of both R• and •QOOH, at 700 K, account for >70% at 10 Torr and >55% at 1520 Torr. Three pathways are confirmed to contribute to the depletion of •QOOH in tetrahydropyran including (i) γ-•QOOH → pentanedial + •OH, (ii) γ-•QOOH → vinyl formate + ethene + •OH, and (iii) γ-•QOOH → 3-butenal + formaldehyde + •OH. Analogous mechanisms in cyclohexane oxidation leading to similar intermediates are compared and, on the basis of mass spectral results, confirm that no such ring-opening reactions occur. The implication from the comparison to cyclohexane is that the ether group in tetrahydropyran increases the propensity for ring-opening reactions and inhibits the formation of ketohydroperoxide isomers that precede chain-branching. On the contrary, the absence of such reactions in cyclohexane enables ketohydroperoxide formation up to 700 K and perhaps higher temperature.

Abstract
Conversion of biomass to chemicals provides essential products to human society from renewable resources. In this context, achieving atom-economical and energy-efficient conversion with high selectivity towards target products remains a key challenge. Recent developments in nanostructured catalysts address this challenge reporting remarkable performances in shape and morphology dependent catalysis by metals on nano scale in energy and environmental applications. In this review, most recent advances in synthesis of heterogeneous nanomaterials, surface characterization and catalytic performances for hydrogenation and oxidation for biorenewables with plausible mechanism have been discussed. The perspectives obtained from this review paper will provide insights into rational design of active, selective and stable catalytic materials for sustainable production of value-added chemicals from biomass resources.

Abstract
The environmental impact of CO2 emissions via the use of fossil resources as chemical feedstock and fuels has stimulated research to utilize renewable biomass feedstock. The biogenic compounds such as polyols are highly oxygenated and their valorization requires the new methods to control the oxygen to carbon ratio of the chemicals. The catalytic cleavage of C-O bonds and C-C bonds is promising methods, but the conventional catalyst systems encounter the difficulty to obtain the high yields of the desired products. This review describes our recent development of the high performance heterogeneous catalysts for the valorization of the biogenic chemicals such as glycerol, furfural, and levulinic acid via selective cleavage of C-O bonds and C-C bonds in the liquid-phase. Selective C-O bond cleavage by hydrogenolysis enables production of various diols useful as engineering plastics, antifreeze, and cosmetics in high yields. The success of the selective C-C bond scission of levulinic acid can be applied to a wide range of the biogenic oxygenates such as carboxylic acids, esters, lactones, and primary alcohols, in which the selective C-C bond scission at adjacent to the oxygen functional groups are achieved. Furthermore, valorization of glycerol by selective acetylation and acetalization, and of levulinic acid by hydrogenation is described. Our catalysts show excellent performance compared to the reported catalysts in the aforementioned valorization.

Abstract
The role of formic acid together with the effect of the solvent type and their synergic interactions with a NiMo catalyst were studied for the conversion of lignin into bio-oil in an alcohol/formic acid media. The replacement of formic acid with H2 or isopropanol decreased the oil yield to a considerable degree, increased the solid yield, and altered the nature of the bio-oil. The differences induced by the presence of H2 were comparable to those observed in the isopropanol system, which suggests similar lignin conversion mechanisms for both systems. Additional semi-batch experiments confirmed that formic acid does not act merely as an in situ hydrogen source or hydrogen donor molecule. Actually, is seems to react with lignin through a formylation-elimination-hydrogenolysis mechanism that leads to the depolymerization of the biopolymer. This reaction competes with formic acid decomposition, which gives mainly H2 and CO2 , and forms a complex reaction system. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time that the distinctive role/mechanism of formic acid has been observed in the conversion of real lignin feedstock. In addition, the solvent, especially ethanol, seems also to play a vital role in the stabilization of the depolymerized monomers and in the elimination/deformylation step.

Abstract
A mechanistic study of the hydrogenation reaction of levulinic acid (LA) to 2-methyltetrahydrofuyran (MTHF) was performed using three different solvents under reactive H2 and inert N2 atmospheres. Under the applied reaction conditions, catalytic transfer hydrogenation and hydrogenation with molecular H2 were effective at producing high yields of γ-valerolactone. However, the conversion of this stable intermediate to MTHF required the combination of both hydrogen sources (the solvent and the H2 atmosphere) to achieve good yields. The reaction system with 2-propanol as solvent and Ni-Cu/Al2 O3 as catalyst allowed full conversion of LA and a MTHF yield of 80 % after 20 h reaction time at 250 °C and 40 bar of H2 (at room temperature). The system showed the same catalytic activity at LA feed concentrations of 5 and up to 30 wt%, and also when high acetone concentration at the beginning of the reaction were added, which confirmed the potential industrial applications of this solvent/catalyst system.
