Abstract
Lignin, a vital renewable biopolymer, serves as the Earth's primary source of aromatics and carbon. Its depolymerization presents significant potential for producing phenolic fine chemicals. This study assesses promoted Ni-based bimetallic catalysts (Ni-Co/C and Ni-Cu/C) supported on activated carbon in isopropanol for lignin depolymerization, compared to monometallic counterparts. BET, SEM, EDX, and XPS analyses highlight their physicochemical properties and promotional effects, enhancing hydrogenolysis activity and hydrogen transformation. Reaction parameter exploration elucidates the influence on lignin depolymerization, with cobalt and copper as promoters notably increasing conversion and monomer yield. Ni-Co/C exhibits the highest lignin conversion (94.2%) and maximum monomer yield (53.1 wt%) under specified conditions, with lower activation energy (36.1 kJ/mol) and higher turnover frequency (31.6 h-1) compared to Ni/C. FT-IR, GPC, GC-FID, and GC-MS analyses confirm effective depolymerization, identifying 20 monomer products. Proposed reaction mechanisms underscore the potential of Ni-based bimetallic catalysts for lignin valorization, offering insights into developing efficient catalytic systems for lignin hydrogenolysis. This research enhances understanding and facilitates the development of selective catalytic processes for lignin valorization.

Selective production of high-value fuel via catalytic upgrading of bio-oil over nitrogen-doped carbon-alumina hybrid supported cobalt catalysts. BIORESOURCE TECHNOLOGY 2024; 406:131059. [PMID: 38950832 DOI: 10.1016/j.biortech.2024.131059] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/26/2024] [Revised: 06/20/2024] [Accepted: 06/28/2024] [Indexed: 07/03/2024]
Abstract
Bio-oil derived from biomass fast pyrolysis can be upgraded to gasoline and diesel alternatives by catalytic hydrodeoxygenation (HDO). Here, the novel nitrogen-doped carbon-alumina hybrid supported cobalt (Co/NCAn, n = 1, 2.5, 5) catalyst is established by a coagulation bath technique. The optimized Co/NCA2.5 catalyst presented 100 % conversion of guaiacol, high selectivity to cyclohexane (93.6 %), and extremely high deoxygenation degree (97.3 %), respectively. Therein, the formation of cyclohexanol was facilitated by stronger binding energy and greater charge transfer between Co and NC which was unraveled by density functional theory calculations. In addition, the appropriate amount of Lewis acid sites enhanced the cleavage of the C-O bond in cyclohexanol, finally resulting in a remarkable selectivity for cyclohexane. Finally, the Co/NCA2.5 catalyst also exhibited excellent selectivity (93.1 %) for high heating value hydrocarbon fuel in crude bio-oil HDO. This work provides a theoretical basis on N dopants collaborating alumina hybrid catalysts for efficient HDO reaction.

Abstract
Carbon materials have paramount importance in various fields of materials science, from electronic devices to industrial catalysts. The properties of these materials are strongly related to the distribution of defects-irregularities in electron density on their surfaces. Different materials have various distributions and quantities of these defects, which can be imaged using a procedure that involves depositing palladium nanoparticles. The resulting scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images can be characterized by a key descriptor-the ordering of nanoparticle positions. This work presents a highly interpretable machine learning approach for distinguishing between materials with ordered and disordered arrangements of defects marked by nanoparticle attachment. The influence of the degree of ordering was experimentally evaluated on the example of catalysis via chemical reactions involving carbon-carbon bond formation. This represents an important step toward automated analysis of SEM images in materials science.

Abstract
Single-atom catalysts (SACs), combining the advantages of multiphase and homogeneous catalysis, have been increasingly investigated in various catalytic applications. Carbon-based SACs have attracted much attention due to their large specific surface area, high porosity, particular electronic structure, and excellent stability. As a cheap and readily available carbon material, biochar has begun to be used as an alternative to carbon nanotubes, graphene, and other such expensive carbon matrices to prepare SACs. However, a review of biochar-based SACs for environmental pollutant removal and energy conversion and storage is lacking. This review focuses on strategies for synthesizing biochar-based SACs, such as pre-treatment of organisms with metal salts, insertion of metal elements into biochar, or pyrolysis of metal-rich biomass, which are more simplistic ways of synthesizing SACs. Meanwhile, this paper attempts to 1) demonstrate their applications in environmental remediation based on advanced oxidation technology and energy conversion and storage based on electrocatalysis; 2) reveal the catalytic oxidation mechanism in different catalytic systems; 3) discuss the stability of biochar-based SACs; and 4) present the future developments and challenges regarding biochar-based SACs.

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
A novel ligand-free heterogeneous catalyst was synthesized via pyrolysis of Samanea saman pods to produce carbon nanospheres (SS-CNSs), which served as a carbon support for immobilizing palladium nanoparticles through an in situ reduction technique (Pd/SS-CNS). The SS-CNSs effectively integrated 3% of Pd on their surfaces with no additional activation procedures needed. The nanomaterials obtained underwent thorough characterization employing various techniques such as FT-IR, XRD, FE-SEM, TEM, EDS, ICP-AES, and BET. Subsequently, the efficiency of this Pd/SS-CNS catalyst was assessed for the synthesis of biaryl derivatives via Suzuki coupling, wherein different boronic acids were coupled with various aryl halides using an environmentally benign solvent mixture of EtOH/H2O and employing only 0.1 mol% of Pd/SS-CNS. The catalytic system was conveniently recovered through centrifugation and demonstrated reusability without any noticeable decline in catalytic activity. This approach offers economic viability, ecological compatibility, scalability, and has the potential to serve as an alternative to homogeneous catalysis.

Abstract
Captopril (CAP) is a safe, cost-effective, and environmentally organic compound that can be used as an effective organo-catalyst. Functional groups of captopril make it capable to attach to solid support and acting as promoters in organic transformations. In this work, captopril was attached to the surface of magnetic graphene nitride by employing a linker agent. The synthesized composite efficiently catalyzed two multicomponent reactions including the synthesis of 1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyrimidine and 2-amino-4H-chromene derivatives. A large library of functional targeted products was synthesized in mild reaction conditions. More importantly, this catalyst was stable and magnetically recycled and reused for at least five runs without losing catalytic activity.

Abstract
M@Pd/CNT (M: Zn, Mn, Ag, Co, V, Ni) core-shell and Pd/CNT nanoparticles were prepared by sodium borohydride reduction and explored as cathode catalysts for the hydrogen peroxide reduction reaction. Electrochemical and physical characterization techniques are applied to explore the characteristics of the produced electrocatalysts. The cyclic voltammetry (CV) experiments show that Zn@Pd/CNT-modified electrodes have a current density of 273.2 mA cm-2, which is 3.95 times higher than that of Pd/CNT. According to the chronoamperometric curves, Zn@Pd/CNT has the highest steady-state current density for the H2O2 electro-reduction process among the synthesized electrocatalysts. Moreover, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) spectra confirmed the previous electrochemical results due to the lowest charge transfer resistance (35 Ω) with respect to other electrocatalysts.

Abstract
Carbon materials play important roles as catalysts or catalyst supports for reduction reactions owing to their high porosity, large specific surface area, great electron conductivity, and excellent chemical stability. In this paper, a mesoporous N-doped carbon substrate (exhibited as N-C) has been synthesized by ionothermal carbonization of glucose in the presence of histidine. The N-C substrate was modified by Fe3O4 nanoparticles (N-C/Fe3O4), and then Pd nanoparticles were stabilized on the magnetic substrate to synthesize an eco-friendly Pd catalyst with high efficiency, magnetic, reusability, recoverability, and great stability. To characterize the Pd/Fe3O4-N-C nanocatalyst, different microscopic and spectroscopic methods such as FT-IR, XRD, SEM/EDX, and TEM were applied. Moreover, Pd/Fe3O4-N-C showed high catalytic activity in reducing nitroaromatic compounds in water at ambient temperatures when NaBH4 was used as a reducing agent. The provided nanocatalyst's great catalytic durability and power can be attributed to the synergetic interaction among well-dispersed Pd nanoparticles and N-doped carbonaceous support.

Abstract
The sustainable utilization of biochar produced from biomass waste could substantially promote the development of carbon neutrality and a circular economy. Due to their cost-effectiveness, multiple functionalities, tailorable porous structure, and thermal stability, biochar-based catalysts play a vital role in sustainable biorefineries and environmental protection, contributing to a positive, planet-level impact. This review provides an overview of emerging synthesis routes for multifunctional biochar-based catalysts. It discusses recent advances in biorefinery and pollutant degradation in air, soil, and water, providing deeper and more comprehensive information of the catalysts, such as physicochemical properties and surface chemistry. The catalytic performance and deactivation mechanisms under different catalytic systems were critically reviewed, providing new insights into developing efficient and practical biochar-based catalysts for large-scale use in various applications. Machine learning (ML)-based predictions and inverse design have addressed the innovation of biochar-based catalysts with high-performance applications, as ML efficiently predicts the properties and performance of biochar, interprets the underlying mechanisms and complicated relationships, and guides biochar synthesis. Finally, environmental benefit and economic feasibility assessments are proposed for science-based guidelines for industries and policymakers. With concerted effort, upgrading biomass waste into high-performance catalysts for biorefinery and environmental protection could reduce environmental pollution, increase energy safety, and achieve sustainable biomass management, all of which are beneficial for attaining several of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs) and Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG).

[PMID: 37764310 PMCID: PMC10538211 DOI: 10.3390/molecules28186534] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/31/2023] [Revised: 09/04/2023] [Accepted: 09/06/2023] [Indexed: 09/29/2023] Open
Abstract
The results of sustainable and selective synthesis of glycerol carbonate (GC) from urea and glycerol under ambient pressure using carbon-fiber-supported metal oxide catalysts are reported. Carbon fibers (CF) were prepared via a catalytic chemical vapor deposition method (CCVD) using Ni as a catalyst and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) as a cheap carbon source. Supported metal oxide catalysts were obtained by an incipient wetness impregnation technique using Zn, Ba, Cr, and Mg nitrates. Finally, the samples were pyrolyzed and oxidized in an air flow. The obtained catalysts (10%MexOy/CFox) were tested in the reaction of urea glycerolysis at 140 °C for 6 h under atmospheric pressure, using an equimolar ratio of reagents and an inert gas flow for NH3 removal. Under the applied conditions, all of the prepared catalysts increased the glycerol conversion and glycerol carbonate yield compared to the blank test, and the best catalytic performance was shown by the CFox-supported ZnO and MgO systems. Screening of the reaction conditions was carried out by applying ZnO/CFox as a catalyst and considering the effect of reaction temperature, molar ratio of reagents, and the mode of the inert gas flow through the reactor on the catalytic process. Finally, a maximum yield of GC of about 40%, together with a selectivity to glycerol carbonate of ~100%, was obtained within 6 h of reaction at 140 °C using a glycerol-to-urea molar ratio of 1:1 while flowing Ar through the reaction mixture. Furthermore, a positive heterogeneous catalytic effect of the CFox support on the process was noticed.

Abstract
Catalytic activity of a palladium catalyst with a porous carbon support was prepared and tested for benzophenone hydrogenation. The selectivity and yields toward the two possible reaction products (benzhydrol and diphenylmethane) can be directed by the applied solvent. It was found that in isopropanol, the prepared support was selective towards diphenylmethane with high conversion (99% selectivity and 99% benzophenone conversion on 323 K after 240 min). This selectivity might be explained by the presence of the incorporated structural nitrogens in the support.

Potential of agro-industrial residues from the Amazon region to produce activated carbon. Heliyon 2023; 9:e17189. [PMID: 37483770 PMCID: PMC10362268 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2023.e17189] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/02/2023] [Revised: 06/05/2023] [Accepted: 06/09/2023] [Indexed: 07/25/2023] Open
Abstract
Thousands of tons of residual lignocellulosic biomass are produced and discarded by agroindustries in the Amazon. These biomasses could be harnessed and used in the preparation of activated carbon, in view of the growing demand for this product with high added value, however, little is known about their characteristics, in addition to their potential as precursors of activated carbon. Therefore, the aim of this work was to evaluate the potential of four different biomasses in the preparation and quality of activated carbon. Residues from the processing of the fruits of acai, babassu, Brazil nut, and oil palm were collected, characterized, carbonized, physically activated with CO2, and characterized. The contents of the total extractives, insoluble lignin, minerals, holocellulose, and elemental (CHNS-O) were analyzed. The surface area and surface morphology were determined from the AC produced, and adsorption tests for methylene blue and phenol were performed. The four biomasses showed potential for use in the preparation of CA; the residues presented high contents of lignin (21.83-55.76%) and carbon (46.49-53.79%). AC were predominantly microporous, although small mesopores could be observed. The AC had a surface area of 569.65-1101.26 m2 g-1, a high methylene blue (93-390 mg g-1), and phenol (159-595 mg g-1) adsorption capacities. Babassu-AC stood out compared to the AC of the other analyzed biomasses, reaching the best results.

Abstract
The significance of nanoparticles (NPs) in technological advancements is due to their adaptable characteristics and enhanced performance over their parent material. They are frequently synthesized by reducing metal ions into uncharged nanoparticles using hazardous reducing agents. However, there have been several initiatives in recent years to create green technology that uses natural resources instead of dangerous chemicals to produce nanoparticles. In green synthesis, biological methods are used for the synthesis of NPs because biological methods are eco-friendly, clean, safe, cost-effective, uncomplicated, and highly productive. Numerous biological organisms, such as bacteria, actinomycetes, fungi, algae, yeast, and plants, are used for the green synthesis of NPs. Additionally, this paper will discuss nanoparticles, including their types, traits, synthesis methods, applications, and prospects.

Production of Alkyl Levulinates from Carbohydrate-Derived Chemical Intermediates Using Phosphotungstic Acid Supported on Humin-Derived Activated Carbon (PTA/HAC) as a Recyclable Heterogeneous Acid Catalyst.

Abstract
This work reports a straightforward and high-yielding synthesis of alkyl levulinates (ALs), a class of promising biofuel, renewable solvent, and chemical feedstock of renewable origin. ALs were prepared by the acid-catalyzed esterification of levulinic acid (LA) and by the alcoholysis of carbohydrate-derived chemical platforms, such as furfuryl alcohol (FAL) and α-angelica lactone (α-AGL). Phosphotungstic acid (PTA) was chosen as the solid acid catalyst for the transformation, which was heterogenized on humin-derived activated carbon (HAC) for superior recyclability. Using HAC as catalyst support expands the scope of valorizing humin, a complex furanic resin produced inevitably as a side product (often considered waste) during the acid-catalyzed hydrolysis/dehydration of sugars and polymeric carbohydrates. Under optimized conditions (150 °C, 7 h, 25 wt.% of 20%PTA/HAC-600 catalyst), ethyl levulinate (EL) was obtained in an 85% isolated yield starting from FAL. Using the general synthetic protocol, EL was isolated in 88% and 84% yields from LA and α-AGL, respectively. The 20%PTA/HAC-600 catalyst was successfully recovered from the reaction mixture and recycled for five cycles. A marginal loss in the yield of ALs was observed in consecutive catalytic cycles due to partial leaching of PTA from the HAC support.

Abstract
Biochar, obtained from the thermal decomposition of different biomass sources, can be used in various scientific technologies by virtue of its distinguishing performance. Recent developments in advanced biochar synthesis methods have led to continuous growth in the literature related to bulk biochar products and synthesized biochar substrates. This review specifically summarizes the current advanced methods for the synthesis of functional biochar catalysts and applications in (trans)esterification. Herein, first the method and design of synthesized biochar substrate catalysts are briefly introduced. Second, the applications of these synthesized biochar substrate catalysts upon (trans)esterification are comprehensively discussed. Finally, the current research status and the future perspectives of the synthesized biochar substrate catalyst are presented. It is expected that this summary will provide perspectives and instructions for future work on synthesized biochar catalysts for biodiesel products.

Abstract
Density functional theory (DFT) is used to systematically investigate the electronic structure of platinum clusters grown on different graphene substrates. Platinum clusters with 1 to 10 atoms and graphene vacancy defect supports with 0 to 5 missing C atoms are investigated. Calculations show that Pt clusters bind more strongly as the vacancy size increases. For a given defect size, increasing the cluster size leads to more endothermic energy of formation, suggesting a templating effect that limits cluster growth. The opposite trend is observed for defect-free graphene where the formation energy becomes more exothermic with increasing cluster size. Calculations show that oxidation of the defect weakens binding of the Pt cluster, hence it is suggested that oxygen-free graphene supports are critical for successful attachment of Pt to carbon-based substrates. However, once the combined material is formed, oxygen adsorption is more favorable on the cluster than on the support, indicating resistance to oxidative support degradation. Finally, while highly-symmetric defects are found to encourage formation of symmetric Pt clusters, calculations also reveal that cluster stability in this size range mostly depends on the number of and ratio between PtC, PtPt, and PtO bonds; the actual cluster geometry seems secondary.

Abstract
Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) are a sustainable alternative for wastewater treatment and clean energy generation. The efficiency of the technology is dependent on the cathodic oxygen reduction reaction, where the sluggish reaction kinetics hampers its propensity. Carbonaceous materials with high electrical conductivity have been widely explored for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) catalysts. Here, incorporating transition metal (TM) and heteroatom into carbon could further enhance the ORR activity and power generation in MFCs. Nitrogen (N)-doped carbons have also been a popular research hotspot due to abundant active sites formed, resulting in superior conductivity, stability, and catalytic activity over carbons. This review summarizes the progress in the carbon-based materials (primary focus on the cathode) for ORR and their utilization in MFCs. Furthermore, we discussed the conceptualization of MFCs and carbonaceous materials to instigate the ORR kinetics and power generation in MFC. Furthermore, prospects of carbon-based materials for actual application in bio-energy generation have been discussed. Carbonaceous catalysts and biomass-derived carbons exhibit good potential to replace precious Pt catalysts for ORR. M-N-C catalysts were found to be the most suitable catalysts. Electrocatalysts with MNx sites are able to achieve excellent activity and high-power output by taking advantage of the active site exposure and rapid mass transfer rate. Moreover, the use of biomass-derived carbons/self-doped carbons could further reduce the overall cost of catalysts. It is anticipated that the research gaps and future perspectives discussed will show new avenues to develop excellent electrocatalysts for better performance and transformation of technology to industrial applications.

Abstract
Developing catalysts to obtain high space time yield (STY) of gasoline-range hydrocarbons via Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (FTS) is a huge challenge due to the restriction of Anderson-Schulz-Flory distribution. Herein, a nitrogen doped biochar-based iron catalyst was synthesized by a one-step method using sugar cane bagasse as carbon precursor, which exhibited an excellent gasoline STY of 8.65 gC5-12 gFe-1 h-1, exceeding most reported catalysts. A strong positive relationship between the amount of pyrrolic N and long-chain hydrocarbons selectivity was displayed. The characterization results indicated that pyrrolic N configuration on anchor sites tuned effectively the dispersion of iron species and metal-support interaction as well as CO adsorption, improving the FTS performance.

Abstract
In this review, ruthenium nanoparticles (Ru NPs)-based functional nanomaterials have attractive electrocatalytic characteristics and they offer considerable potential in a number of fields. Ru-based binary or multimetallic NPs are widely utilized for electrode modification because of their unique electrocatalytic properties, enhanced surface-area-to-volume ratio, and synergistic effect between two metals provides as an effective improved electrode sensor. This perspective review suggests the current research and development of Ru-based nanomaterials as a platform for electrochemical (EC) sensing of harmful substances, biomolecules, insecticides, pharmaceuticals, and environmental pollutants. The advantages and limitations of mono-, bi-, and multimetallic Ru-based nanocomposites for EC sensors are discussed. Besides, the relevant EC properties and analyte sensing approaches are also presented. On the basis of these insights, we highlighted recent results for synthesizing techniques and EC environmental pollutant sensors from the perspectives of diverse supports, including graphene, carbon nanotubes, silica, semiconductors, metal sulfides, and polymers. Finally, this work overviews the modern improvements in the utilization of Ru-based nanocomposites on the basis for electroanalytical sensors as well as suggestions for the field's future development.

Abstract
This paper reports the preparation, evaluation, and comparison of alkaline and acidic heterogeneous carbon-based catalysts in the transesterification of safflower oil with methanol to obtain biodiesel. These catalysts were obtained from the pyrolysis of flamboyant pods and their functionalization and activation with potassium hydroxide, citric acid, tartaric acid, sulfuric acid, and calcium nitrate. Different routes for the preparation of these catalysts were tested and analyzed where the FAME formation was the target variable to be improved. Results showed that the catalyst prepared with potassium hydroxide and calcium nitrate achieved the highest FAME formation (i.e., 95%) and outperformed the catalysts prepared with calcium nitrate and other acids even after four regeneration-reaction cycles. The best properties of an alkaline catalyst could be associated with its specific surface area and contents of potassium and calcium moieties, which were higher than those observed for acidic catalysts. Transesterification rates for biodiesel production were better estimated with the pseudo-order kinetic model, which ranged from 0.0004 to 0.038 L/mol⋅min for alkaline and acidic catalysts.

Abstract
Orbital hybridization to regulate the electronic structures and surface chemisorption properties of transition metals has been extensively investigated for searching high-performance catalysts toward various reactions. Unlike conventional d-d hybridization, the d-sp hybridization interaction between transition metals and p-block elements could result in surprising electronic properties and catalytic activities. This feature article highlights the recent progress in the development of high-performance transition metal-based catalysts through the extraordinary d-sp hybridization strategy, particularly for energy-related electrocatalytic applications. We start by giving an introduction of fundamental concepts associated with electronic structures of transition metal catalysts, including the Sabatier principle, d-band theory, electronic descriptor, as well as the comparison of d-d hybridization and d-sp hybridization strategies. Then, we summarize the theoretical and experimental advances in d-sp hybridization catalysts, including p-block element-doped metal catalysts, intermetallic catalysts and supported metal catalysts, with emphasis on the important roles of d-sp hybridization in tuning catalytic performances. Finally, we present existing challenges and future development prospects for the rational design of advanced d-sp hybridization catalysts.

Abstract
Nanomaterials (NMs) with unique structures and compositions can give rise to exotic physicochemical properties and applications. Despite the advancement in solution-based methods, scalable access to a wide range of crystal phases and intricate compositions is still challenging. Solid-state reaction (SSR) syntheses have high potential owing to their flexibility toward multielemental phases under feasibly high temperatures and solvent-free conditions as well as their scalability and simplicity. Controlling the nanoscale features through SSRs demands a strategic nanospace-confinement approach due to the risk of heat-induced reshaping and sintering. Here, we describe advanced SSR strategies for NM synthesis, focusing on mechanistic insights, novel nanoscale phenomena, and underlying principles using a series of examples under different categories. After introducing the history of classical SSRs, key theories, and definitions central to the topic, we categorize various modern SSR strategies based on the surrounding solid-state media used for nanostructure growth, conversion, and migration under nanospace or dimensional confinement. This comprehensive review will advance the quest for new materials design, synthesis, and applications.

Abstract
The almond industry leaves behind substantial amounts of by-products, with almond hulls being the primary residue generated. Given that one way to improve food security is by decreasing waste to reduce environmental impacts, developing sustainable processes to manage this by-product is necessary. Herein, we report on the hydrothermal hydrogenation of almond hulls over a carbon-neutral Ru supported on carbon nanofibres (Ru/CNF) catalyst, addressing the temperature, H2 pressure, time and catalyst loading. These variables controlled the distribution of the reaction products: gas (0-5%), liquid (49-82%) and solid (13-51%), and ruled the composition of the liquid effluent. This aqueous fraction comprised oligomers (46-81 wt%), saccharides (2-7 wt%), sugar alcohols (2-15 wt%), polyhydric alcohols (1-8 wt%) and carboxylic acids (7-31 wt%). The temperature and reaction time influenced the extension of hydrolysis, depolymerisation, deamination, hydrolysis, hydrogenation and dehydration reactions. Additionally, the initial H2 pressure and catalyst loading kinetically promoted these transformations, whose extensions were ruled by the amount of H2 effectively dissolved in the reaction medium and the prevalence of hydrogenations over dehydration/decarboxylation reactions or vice versa depending on the catalyst loading. Process optimisation revealed that it is feasible to convert up to 67% of almond hulls into merchantable oligomers at 230 °C, 35 bar initial H2, using 1 g catalyst/g biomass (0.4 g Ru/g biomass) for 360 min. Additionally, decreasing the temperature to 187 °C without modifying the other parameters could convert this material into oligomers (31 wt%) and small oxygenates (17 wt% carboxylic acids, 11 wt% sugar alcohols and 6 wt% polyhydric alcohols) concurrently. The theoretical energy assessment revealed that the total and partial combustion of the spent solid material could provide the required energy for the process and allow catalyst recovery and reutilisation. This environmental friendliness and holistic features exemplify a landmark step-change to valorising unavoidable food waste.

Abstract
Heterogeneous iron-based catalysts governing selectivity for the reduction of nitroarenes and aldehydes have received tremendous attention in the arena of catalysis, but relatively less success has been achieved. Herein, we report a green strategy for the facile synthesis of a lignin residue-derived carbon-supported magnetic iron (γ-Fe2O3/LRC-700) nanocatalyst. This active nanocatalyst exhibits excellent activity and selectivity for the hydrogenation of nitroarenes to anilines, including pharmaceuticals (e.g., flutamide and nimesulide). Challenging and reducible functionalities such as halogens (e.g., chloro, iodo, and fluoro) and ketone, ester, and amide groups were tolerated. Moreover, biomass-derived aldehyde (e.g., furfural) and other aromatic aldehydes were also effective for the hydrogenation process, often useful in biomedical sciences and other important areas. Before and after the reaction, the γ-Fe2O3/LRC-700 nanocatalyst was thoroughly characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), N2 adsorption-desorption, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM), Raman spectroscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Additionally, the γ-Fe2O3/LRC-700 nanocatalyst is stable and easily separated using an external magnet and recycled up to five cycles with no substantial drop in the activity. Eventually, sustainable and green credentials for the hydrogenation reactions of 4-nitrobenzamide to 4-aminobenzamide and benzaldehyde to benzyl alcohol were assessed with the help of the CHEM21 green metrics toolkit.
