Abstract
The selective hydrogenation of biomass derivatives presents a promising pathway for the production of high-value chemicals and fuels, thereby reducing reliance on traditional petrochemical industries. Recent strides in catalyst nanostructure engineering, achieved through tailored support properties, have significantly enhanced the hydrogenation performance in biomass upgrading. A comprehensive understanding of biomass selective upgrading reactions and the current advancement in supported catalysts is crucial for guiding future processes in renewable biomass. This review aims to summarize the development of supported nanocatalysts for the selective hydrogenation of the US DOE's biomass platform compounds derivatives into valuable upgraded molecules. The discussion includes an exploration of the reaction mechanisms and conditions in catalytic transfer hydrogenation (CTH) and high-pressure hydrogenation. By thoroughly examining the tailoring of supports, such as metal oxide catalysts and porous materials, in nano-supported catalysts, we elucidate the promoting role of nanostructure engineering in biomass hydrogenation. This endeavor seeks to establish a robust theoretical foundation for the fabrication of highly efficient catalysts. Furthermore, the review proposes prospects in the field of biomass utilization and address application bottlenecks and industrial challenges associated with the large-scale utilization of biomass.

Abstract
Preparation of the high value-added chemical 2,5-dimethylfuran (2,5-DMF) from the biomass-derived platform molecule 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) is of great significance in the preparation of biofuels. Here, a bottom-up strategy was used to prepare a metal-organic framework (MOF) material with a two-dimensional nanosheet morphology, named CPM, in which an additive 2-methylimidazole was introduced into the hydrothermal process of Cu2+ ions and terephthalic acid. Subsequently, CPM-700 prepared by heat treatment under an inert atmosphere showed excellent catalytic performance in the reaction of HMF hydrodeoxygenation to 2,5-DMF. The materials before and after pyrogenation were characterized by PXRD, XPS, TEM, N2 adsorption and desorption and so on. It was confirmed that compared with the catalyst derived from the cubic MOF material self-assembled by Cu2+ and terephthalic acid, the morphology of 2D nanosheets was beneficial for the reaction of HMF to 2,5-DMF. Combined with the experimental data, the possible reaction path of 2,5-DMF preparation from HMF is that 2,5-dihydroxymethylfuran was formed by hydrogenation of the aldehyde group on the furan ring, and then 2,5-DMF was obtained by hydrogenolysis. This paper provides an effective route for 2D MOF-derived catalytic materials in the selective hydrogenation of HMF.

Abstract
The development of high-content non-noble metal nanocatalysts is important for multiphase catalysis applications. However, it is a challenge to solve the agglomeration in the preparation of high-content metal catalysts. In this paper, a carbon-based catalyst (Co@CN-G-600) with 71.28 wt % cobalt metal content was prepared using a new strategy of gas-phase carbon coating assisted by glycerol. The core of this strategy is to maintain the spacing of metallic cobalt by continuous replenishment of dissociated ligands during pyrolysis over gas-phase glycerol. This approach is also applicable to other non-noble metals. When Co@CN-G-600 was further used as a catalyst for the selective hydrogenation of furfural (FF) to prepare furfuryl alcohol (FOL), the yield of FOL was >99.9% under mild conditions of 80 °C, compared to only 8.23% catalytic yield at up to 130 °C for Co@CN-600 without glycerol. The excellent catalytic performance mainly lies in the fact that the introduction of glycerol modulates the size effect, electronic effect, and acidic site intensity of the high-content Co catalyst, which promotes the activation of FF and hydrogen. Meanwhile, the optimized specific surface area and pore structure by glycerol improve the accessibility of high-density active sites and promote more efficient mass transfer. In addition, the introduction of glycerol produced a graphitic carbon layer encapsulation structure relative to Co@CN-600, which substantially improved the cycling stability of the catalyst. This study resolves the paradox of high content and high dispersion of non-noble metal catalysts in the synthesis process and provides a general pathway and example for the preparation of stable high-content metal catalysts.

Abstract
Functional use of biomass based on its structural properties is an efficient approach for the valuable utilization of biomass resources. In this work, carboxymethyl cellulose zirconium-based catalyst (Zr-CMC) was constructed by the coordination between the carboxylic groups in sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC-Na) with transition metal Zr4+. The prepared catalyst was applied into the synthesis of furfuryl alcohol (FAL) by catalytic transfer hydrogenation of biomass-derived furfural (FF) using isopropanol as hydrogen donor. Both the preparation conditions and the reaction conditions of Zr-CMC catalyst were investigated and optimized. The results showed that Zr-CMC was efficient for the reaction with the FF conversion, FAL yield and selectivity reaching to 92.5%, 91.5 %, and 99.0%, respectively, under the mild conditions (90°C). Meanwhile, the Zr-CMC catalyst could be reused at least for five times without obvious decrease in efficiency, indicating the catalyst had excellent stability. With the advantages of sustainable raw materials, high efficiency, and excellent stability, the prepared catalyst is potential for application in the field of biomass conversion.
