SMALL (WEINHEIM AN DER BERGSTRASSE, GERMANY) 2024; 20:e2306227.

Abstract
γ-valerolactone (GVL) is a key value-added chemical catalytically produced from levulinic acid (LA), an important biomass derivative platform chemical. Here an ultra-efficient 3D Ru catalyst generated by in situ reduction of RuZnOx nanoboxes is reported; the catalyst features a well-defined structure of highly dispersed in situ oxide-derived Ru (IOD-Ru) clusters (≈1 nm in size) spatially confined within the 3D nanocages with rich mesopores, which guarantees a maximized atom utilization with a high exposure of Ru active sites as well as a 3D accessibility for substrate molecules. The IOD-Ru exhibits ultrahigh performance for the hydrogenation of LA into GVL with a record-breaking turnover frequency (TOF) up to 59400 h-1 , 14 times higher than that of the ex situ reduction of RuZnOx nanoboxes catalyst. Structural characterizations and theoretical calculations collectively indicate that the defect-rich and coordination-unsaturated IOD-Ru sites can boost the activation of the carbonyl group in LA with a significantly lowered energy barrier of hydrogenation.

Abstract
The transformation of renewable platform molecules to produce value-added fuels and fine-chemicals is a promising strategy to sustainably meet future demands. Owing to their finely modified electronic and geometric properties, carbon-based nanocatalysts have shown great capability to regulate their catalytic activity and stability. Their well-defined and uniform structures also provide both the opportunity to explore intrinsic reaction mechanisms and the site-requirement for valorization of renewable platform molecules to advanced fuels and chemicals. This Review highlights the progress achieved in carbon-based nanocatalysts, mainly by using effective regulation approaches such as heteroatom anchoring, bimetallic synergistic effects, and carbon encapsulation to enhance catalyst performance and stability, and their applications in renewable platform molecule transformations. The foundation for understanding the structure-performance relationship of carbon-based catalysts has been established by investigating the effect of these regulation methods on catalyst performance. Finally, the opportunities, challenges and potential applications of carbon-based nanocatalysts are discussed.
