Abstract
The conversion of lignocellulosic biomass into platform chemicals and fuels by metal single atoms is a new domain in solid catalysis research. Unlike the conventional catalysis route, single-atom catalysts (SACs) proliferate maximum utilization efficiency, high catalytic activity, and good selectivity to the desired product with an ultralow loading of the active sites. More strikingly, SACs show a unique cost-effective pathway for the conversion of complex sugar molecules to value-added chemicals in high yield and selectivity, which may be hindered by conventional metal nanoparticles. Primarily, SACs having adjustable active sites could be easily modified using sophisticated synthetic techniques based on their intended reactions. This review covers current research on the use of SACs with a strong emphasis on the fundamentals of catalyst design, and their distinctive activities in each type of reaction (hydrogenation, hydrogenolysis, hydrodeoxygenation, oxidation, and dehydrogenation). Furthermore, the fundamental insights into the superior actions of SACs within the opportunity and prospects for the industrial-scale synthesis of value-added products from the lignocelluloses are covered.

Abstract
Designing novel catalysts is key to solving many energy and environmental challenges. Despite the promise that data science approaches, including machine learning (ML), can accelerate the development of catalysts, truly novel catalysts have rarely been discovered through ML approaches because of one of its most common limitations and criticisms-the assumed inability to extrapolate and identify extraordinary materials. Herein, we demonstrate an extrapolative ML approach to develop new multi-elemental reverse water-gas shift catalysts. Using 45 catalysts as the initial data points and performing 44 cycles of the closed loop discovery system (ML prediction + experiment), we experimentally tested a total of 300 catalysts and identified more than 100 catalysts with superior activity compared to those of the previously reported high-performance catalysts. The composition of the optimal catalyst discovered was Pt(3)/Rb(1)-Ba(1)-Mo(0.6)-Nb(0.2)/TiO2. Notably, niobium (Nb) was not included in the original dataset, and the catalyst composition identified was not predictable even by human experts.

Abstract
Herein, a family of Mg/Al hydrotalcites was synthesized as catalytic precursors of MgAlOx mixed oxides. Both hydrotalcites and mixed oxides were characterized and the mixed oxides were tested in the reduction of furfural to yield furfuryl alcohol by MPV reaction using isopropanol as hydrogen donor. Different catalytic parameters were tested, such as the type of alcohol, calcination temperature of the hydrotalcite, and reaction temperature. Furfural and isopropanol were adsorbed on the MgAl-3 catalyst to follow the species adsorbed on the catalyst by FTIR analysis. The results showed that the isopropanol was activated as isopropoxide and furfural changed the adsorption site with increasing temperature but maintaining the h1-conformation. The catalytic performances were associated with the basicity of the catalysts and the deactivation processes have been attributed to the existence of adsorbed species on the surface, mainly due to furfural-derived compounds. The catalysts were reused in three consecutive cycles showing a sharp drop of catalytic activity. To recover the activity, the catalysts were calcined at 500 °C but the activity was only partially recovered. The XPS analysis after reactivation showed that the catalyst surface was modified due to the segregation of hydroxides of Mg and Al.

Abstract
The catalytic hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) of carbonyl oxygen in esters using H2 is an attractive method for synthesizing unsymmetrical ethers because water is theoretically the sole coproduct. Herein, we report a heterogeneous catalytic system for the selective HDO of esters to unsymmetrical ethers over a zirconium oxide-supported platinum-molybdenum catalyst (Pt-Mo/ZrO2). A wide range of esters were transformed into the corresponding unsymmetrical ethers under mild reaction conditions (0.5 MPa H2 at 100 °C). The Pt-Mo/ZrO2 catalyst was also successfully applied to the conversion of a biomass-derived triglyceride into the corresponding triether. Physicochemical characterization and control experiments revealed that cooperative catalysis between Pt nanoparticles and neighboring molybdenum oxide species on the ZrO2 surface plays a key role in the highly selective HDO of esters. This Pt-Mo/ZrO2 catalyst system offers a highly efficient strategy for synthesizing unsymmetrical ethers and broadens the scope of sustainable reaction processes.

Abstract
Production of methanol from anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) is a promising chemical process that can alleviate both the environmental burden and the dependence on fossil fuels. In catalytic CO2 hydrogenation to methanol, reduction of CO2 to intermediate species is generally considered to be a crucial step. It is of great significance to design and develop advanced heterogeneous catalysts and to engineer the surface structures to promote CO2-to-methanol conversion. We herein report an oxygen-defective molybdenum sub-oxide coupled with Pt nanoparticles (Pt/HxMoO3−y) which affords high methanol yield with a methanol formation rate of 1.53 mmol g-cat−1 h−1 in liquid-phase CO2 hydrogenation under relatively mild reaction conditions (total 4.0 MPa, 200 °C), outperforming other oxide-supported Pt catalysts in terms of both the yield and selectivity for methanol. Experiments and comprehensive analyses including in situ X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS), in situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform (DRIFT) spectroscopy and density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal that both abundant surface oxygen vacancies (VO) and the redox ability of Mo species in quasi-stable HxMoO3−y confer the catalyst with enhanced adsorption and activation capability to subsequently transform CO2 to methanol. Moreover, the Pt NPs act as H2 dissociation sites to regenerate oxygen vacancies and as hydrogenation sites for the CO intermediate to finally afford methanol. Based on the experimental and computational studies, an oxygen-vacancy-mediated “reverse Mars–van Krevelen (M–vK)” mechanism is proposed. This study affords a new strategy for the design and development of an efficient heterogeneous catalyst for CO2 conversion. Oxygen-defective molybdenum sub-oxide coupled with Pt nanoparticles affords high methanol yield in liquid-phase CO2 hydrogenation via reverse Mars–van Krevelen mechanism.![]()

Abstract
Functional polyurethanes and polyesters with tunable properties were synthesized from biomass-derived 5-hydroxymethyl furfural (HMF)-Acetone-HMF (HAH) monomers. HAH can be selectively hydrogenated over Cu and Ru catalysts to produce partially-hydrogenated (PHAH) and fully-hydrogenated (FHAH). The HAH units in these polymers improve the thermal stability and stiffness of the polymers compared to polyurethanes produced with ethylene glycol. Polyurethanes produced from PHAH provide diene binding sites for electron deficient C=C double bonds, such as in maleimide compounds, that can participate in Diels-Alder reactions. Such sites can function to create crosslinking by Diels-Alder coupling with bismaleimides and can be used to impart functionality to PHAH (giving rise to anti-microbial activity or controlled drug delivery). The symmetric triol structure of FHAH leads to energy-dissipating rubbers with branched structures. Accordingly, the properties of these biomass-derived polymers can be tuned by controlling the blending ratio of HAH-derived monomers or the degree of Diels-Alder reaction. The polyester produced from HAH can be used in packaging applications.

Abstract
Probe molecule vibrational spectra have a long history of being used to characterize materials including metals, oxides, metal-organic frameworks, and even human proteins. Furthermore, recent advances in machine learning have enabled computationally generated spectra to aid in detailed characterization of complex surfaces with probe molecules. Despite widespread use of probe molecules, the science of probe molecule selection is underdeveloped. Here, we develop physical concepts, including orbital interaction energy and the energy overlap integral, to explain and predict the ability of probe molecules to discriminate structural descriptors. We resolve the crystal orbital overlap population (COOP) to specific molecular orbitals and quantify their bonding character, which directly influences vibrational frequencies. Using only a single adsorbate calculation from density function theory (DFT), we compute the interaction energy of individual adsorbate molecular orbitals with adsorption site atomic orbitals across many different sites. Combining the molecular orbital resolved COOP and changes in orbital interaction energy enables probe molecule selection for improved discrimination of various sites. We demonstrate these concepts by comparing the predicted effectiveness of carbon monoxide (CO), nitric oxide (NO), and ethylene (C2H4) to probe Pt adsorption sites. Finally, using a previously developed machine learning framework, we show that models trained on hundreds of thousands of C2H4 spectra, computed from DFT, which regress surface binding-type and generalized coordination number, outperform those trained using CO and NO spectra. A python package, pDOS_overlap, for implementing the electron density-based analysis on any combination of adsorbates and materials, is also made available.

Abstract
Supported ruthenium was used in the liquid phase catalytic transfer hydrogenation of furfural. To improve the stability of Ru against leaching, phosphorous was introduced on a Ru/Al2O3 based catalyst upon impregnation with ammonium hypophosphite followed by either reduction or calcination to study the effect of phosphorous on the physico-chemical properties of the active phase. Characterization using X-ray diffraction, solid state 31P nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, X-ray absorption spectroscopy, temperature programmed reduction with H2, infrared spectroscopy of pyridine adsorption from the liquid phase and transmission electron microscopy indicated that phosphorous induces a high dispersion of Ru, promotes Ru reducibility and is responsible for the formation of acid species of Brønsted character. As a result, the phosphorous-based catalyst obtained after reduction was more active for catalytic transfer hydrogenation of furfural and more stable against Ru leaching under these conditions than a benchmark Ru catalyst supported on activated carbon. Phosphorous induces structural changes in Ru/Al2O3 that make it more active and more stable for liquid phase hydrogenation of furfural.![]()

Abstract
The hydrodeoxygenation of furfural (FU) was investigated over Fe-containing MgO catalysts, on a continuous gas flow reactor, using methanol as a hydrogen donor. Catalysts were prepared either by coprecipitation or impregnation methods, with different Fe/Mg atomic ratios. The main product was 2-methylfuran (MFU), an important highly added value chemical, up to 92% selectivity. The catalyst design helped our understanding of the impact of acid/base properties and the nature of iron species in terms of catalytic performance. In particular, the addition of iron on the surface of the basic oxide led to (i) the increase of Lewis acid sites, (ii) the increase of the dehydrogenation capacity of the presented catalytic system, and (iii) to the significant enhancement of the FU conversion to MFU. FTIR studies, using methanol as the chosen probe molecule, indicated that, at the low temperature regime, the process follows the typical hydrogen transfer reduction, but at the high temperature regime, methanol dehydrogenation and methanol disproportionation were both presented, whereas iron oxide promoted methanol transfer. FTIR studies were performed using furfural and furfuryl alcohol as probe molecules. These studies indicated that furfuryl alcohol activation is the rate-determining step for methyl furan formation. Our experimental results clearly demonstrate that the nature of iron oxide is critical in the efficient hydrodeoxygenation of furfural to methyl furan and provides insights toward the rational design of catalysts toward C–O bonds’ hydrodeoxygenation in the production of fuel components.

Abstract
Strontium-substituted lanthanum cobaltite (La0.8 Sr0.2 CoO3 ) matrix-stabilized Co0 /CoII catalytic sites were prepared, which present tunable C-O and C-C hydrogenolysis activity for the vapor-phase upgrading of oxygenated arenes. CoII sites associated with oxygen vacancies were favored at low temperatures and performed selective C-O hydrogenolysis, in which Sr-substitution facilitated oxygen vacancy formation, leading to approximately 10 times higher reactivity compared to undoped LaCoO3 . Co0 sites were favored at high temperatures and performed extensive C-C bond hydrogenolysis, generating a wide range of alkanes. The lower reaction order with P H 2 (1.1±0.1) for C-C hydrogenolysis than for C-O hydrogenolysis (2.0±0.1) led to a high selectivity towards C-C hydrogenolysis at low P H 2 . The Co3 O4 surfaces featured a narrower temperature window for obtaining the respective optimal CoII and Co0 pairs compared to analogous perovskite surfaces; whereas, the perovskite matrix stabilizes these pairs for selective C-O and C-C hydrogenolysis. This stabilization effect offers an additional handle to control reactivity in oxide catalysts.

Abstract
In this study, graphene nanosheet-supported ultrafine Cu nanoparticles (NPs) encapsulated with thin mesoporous silica (Cu-GO@m-SiO2) materials are fabricated with particle sizes ranging from 60 to 7.8 nm and are systematically investigated for the oxidative coupling of amines to produce biologically and pharmaceutically important imine derivatives. Catalytic activity remarkably increased from 76.5% conversion of benzyl amine for 60 nm NPs to 99.3% conversion and exclusive selectivity of N-benzylidene-1-phenylmethanamine for 7.8 nm NPs. The superior catalytic performance along with the outstanding catalyst stability of newly designed catalysts are attributed to the easy diffusion of organic molecules through the porous channel of mesoporous SiO2 layers, which not only restricts the restacking of the graphene nanosheets but also prevents the sintering and leaching of metal NPs to an extreme extent through the nanoconfinement effect. Density functional theory calculations were performed to shed light on the reaction mechanism and to give insight into the trend of catalytic activity observed. The computed activation barriers of all elementary steps are very high on terrace Cu(111) sites, which dominate the large-sized Cu NPs, but are significantly lower on step sites, which are presented in higher density on smaller-sized Cu NPs and could explain the higher activity of smaller Cu-GO@m-SiO2 samples. In particular, the activation barrier for the elementary coupling reaction is reduced from 139 kJ/mol on flat terrace Cu(111) sites to the feasible value of 94 kJ/mol at step sites, demonstrating the crucial role of the step site in facilitating the formation of secondary imine products.

Abstract
Valorization of humins, the polymeric byproducts formed during the acid-catalyzed production of HMF (5-hydroxymethylfurfural) or furfural, is necessary to improve process economics and make biorefineries viable. We report the one-step catalytic hydrotreatment of humins in methanol to humin oil containing fully or partially deoxygenated compounds. First, we compare four commercial noble-metal catalysts (Ru/C, Rh/C, Pt/C, and Pd/C). Aromatic hydrocarbons, phenols, and esters are the main products detected by GC. Rh/C achieves the best GC-detectable oil yield and 75 % humins conversion in 3 h at 400 °C, 30 bar H2 , and a catalyst-to-humins mass ratio of 1:10. High H2 pressures and intermediate temperatures, reaction times, and catalyst loadings enhance GC-detectable oil yields. In contrast, high temperatures and long reaction times enhance gasification. Aromatics and phenols are found at high temperatures and long reaction times, whereas esters are the major species at short reaction times and high catalyst loading. 13 C-isotopic labeling studies confirm, for the first time, that methanol participates in the alkylation and esterification reactions to form aromatic, phenolic and ester products. The reactivity in isopropanol is also discussed.

Abstract
The one-step reaction of glycerol with hydrogen to form propene selectively is a particularly challenging catalytic pathway that has not yet been explored thoroughly. Molybdena-based catalysts are active and selective to C-O bond scission; propene is the only product in the gas phase under the standard reaction conditions, and further hydrogenation to propane is impeded. Within this context, this work focuses on the exploration of the reaction pathways and the investigation of various parameters that affect the catalytic performance, such as the role of hydrogen on the product distribution and the effect of the catalyst pretreatment step. Under a hydrogen atmosphere, propene is produced primarily via 2-propenol, whereas under an inert atmosphere propanal and glycerol dissociation products are formed mainly. The reaction most likely proceeds through a reverse Mars-van Krevelen mechanism as partially reduced Mo species drive the reaction to the formation of the desired product.
