Abstract
The catalytic hydrogenation of esters and carboxylic acids represents a fundamental and important class of organic transformations, which is widely applied in energy, environmental, agricultural, and pharmaceutical industries. Due to the low reactivity of the carbonyl group in carboxylic acids and esters, this type of reaction is, however, rather challenging. Hence, specifically active catalysts are required to achieve a satisfactory yield. Nevertheless, in recent years, remarkable progress has been made on the development of catalysts for this type of reaction, especially heterogeneous catalysts, which are generally dominating in industry. Here in this review, we discuss the recent breakthroughs as well as milestone achievements for the hydrogenation of industrially important carboxylic acids and esters utilizing heterogeneous catalysts. In addition, related catalytic hydrogenations that are considered of importance for the development of cleaner energy technologies and a circular chemical industry will be discussed in detail. Special attention is paid to the insights into the structure-activity relationship, which will help the readers to develop rational design strategies for the synthesis of more efficient heterogeneous catalysts.

Abstract
The contamination of producer gas with tar due to inefficient removal methods remains a major challenge in the bioenergy industry and a critical barrier, hindering commercial applications of biomass gasification technology. Single syngas treatment through primary and secondary tar removal method is insufficient to produce a tar free syngas. Currently widely applied tar removal methods are catalytic reforming and plasma reforming. Though both methods have hindrances of fast catalyst deactivation due to coke deposition and reduced syngas selectivity with large quantities of undesired liquid products from plasma reforming. Our review paper showed that hybrid plasma catalysis could be a breakthrough in tar reforming methods and overcome major drawbacks. Though, very little work on review articles have reported merging non-thermal plasma and heterogeneous catalyst. Plasma catalysis offers an inexpensive viable future technology of tar reforming through biomass gasification. The article assessed in-depth the synergistic effect created during the interaction of energetic plasma species and catalyst radicals in tar reforming. Review results show that merging plasma with catalysts noticeably Nickel, Non-nickel metal catalyst and zeolites gave pleasant results of tar conversion efficiency, improved gas selectivity and improved catalyst stability.

Abstract
Exposing a Cu‐based catalyst to a suitable temperature is of great importance to optimize its hydrogenation performance, as copper is sensitive to temperature. Herein, we investigated the effect of the initial oxidation state of copper, tuned by the reduction temperature, on its catalytic performance in the hydrogenation of dimethyl oxalate (DMO) to ethylene glycol (EG) through designing a series of catalysts with different reduction temperatures (200–350 °C). Among these catalysts, the Cu/SiO2 catalyst prepared by ammonia evaporation with a hydrogen reduction process at 250 °C showed the best performance in the hydrogenation of DMO with a conversion of 100 % and a selectivity to EG higher than 95 %. The relationship between the initial oxidation state of copper and catalytic performance was well established by characterizing the physicochemical properties of the Cu/SiO2 catalysts by XRD, TEM, H2 temperature‐programmed reduction, N2O adsorption, and in situ reduction Auger electron spectroscopy. The initial oxidation state of copper determined the conversion of DMO and the distribution of the products, and it could be balanced by reducing the temperature to improve the activity of the catalyst. This work provides a reference for further exploration of the mechanism and guidance for the design of catalysts for the hydrogenation of esters.
