Abstract
Biomass assumes an increasingly vital role in the realm of renewable energy and sustainable development due to its abundant availability, renewability, and minimal environmental impact. Within this context, 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), derived from sugar dehydration, stands out as a critical bio-derived product. It serves as a pivotal multifunctional platform compound, integral in synthesizing various vital chemicals, including furan-based polymers, fine chemicals, and biofuels. The high reactivity of HMF, attributed to its highly active aldehyde, hydroxyl, and furan ring, underscores the challenge of selectively regulating its conversion to obtain the desired products. This review highlights the research progress on efficient catalytic systems for HMF synthesis, oxidation, reduction, and etherification. Additionally, it outlines the techno-economic analysis (TEA) and prospective research directions for the production of furan-based chemicals. Despite significant progress in catalysis research, and certain process routes demonstrating substantial economics, with key indicators surpassing petroleum-based products, a gap persists between fundamental research and large-scale industrialization. This is due to the lack of comprehensive engineering research on bio-based chemicals, making the commercialization process a distant goal. These findings provide valuable insights for further development of this field.

Abstract
Catalytic conversion of biomass-derived value-added chemicals was of great significance for the utilization of renewable biomass resources to instead of fossil chemicals. Biomass-derived lignin was regarded as an important support and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) was a vital platform chemical derived from cellulose. Herein, a series of lignin-MOF hybrid catalysts were prepared and modified with different heteropolyacids (HPAs), which were then successfully introduced into the selective conversion of HMF to 5-hydroxymethylfurfuryl alcohol (MFA). The effect of different HPA, calcination temperature, etc. were all studied, and all catalysts were well characterized. It was confirmed that silicotungstic acid modified catalyst (Ni3Co-MOF-LS@HSiW) exhibited the best catalytic performance, while the highest conversion of HMF was up to 100%, with the best MFA yield of 86.5%. The finding in this study could provide novel insights for the utilization of lignin and preparation of value-added biomass-derived chemicals.

Abstract
Exploring the transformation of carbohydrates into valuable chemicals offers a promising and eco-friendly method for utilizing renewable biomass resources. Developing a bi-functional, sustainable heterogeneous catalyst is of utmost importance to attain a high level of selectivity for the desired product, 2,5-diformylfuran (DFF), in this direct conversion process. In this study, we developed a highly effective catalytic system to convert diverse carbohydrates into DFF. Our approach involved utilizing a MoS2 catalyst supported by amorphous carbon derived from sulfonated sugarcane biomass. The MoS2@SBG-SO3H composite was successfully synthesized using a facile and highly efficient method. The transformation of fructose into DFF achieved a significant yield of 70 % for 5 h at 160 °C using a one-step and one-pot reaction through dehydration and oxidation with oxygen. The oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) into DFF using MoS2@SBG-SO3H was obtained at 94 % DFF within 5 h; the activation energy was 38.3 kJ . mol-1. The catalyst displayed convenient recovery and reusability. The direct synthesis of DFF from various carbohydrates, such as sucrose, glucose, maltose, and lactose, resulted in favorable yields. Our research provides a quick, green, and efficient process for preparing carbon-based solid acid catalysts and DFF.

Abstract
2, 5-Dimethylfuran (DMF), which is a promising new-generation liquid biofuel, has attracted widespread attention owing to the sustainability of biomass-derived energy sources. In this study, a highly dispersed zirconia-supported nickel catalyst (CA-Ni/ZrO2) was prepared via citric acid-assisted wetness impregnation for the selective hydrogenolysis of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) to produce DMF. The characterization results confirmed the presence of Zr3+ species in the mesoporous CA-Ni/ZrO2 catalyst and the formation of oxygen vacancies during its preparation, which led to the formation of a large number of catalytically active sites for the adsorption and activation of the C=O/C-O groups. Under appropriate reaction parameters, an excellent DMF selectivity of 99.1 % and an HMF conversion of 98.4 % were achieved. A suitable kinetic model revealed that DMF was preferentially formed via the 2,5-dihydroxymethylfuran intermediate route, although a 5-methylfurfural route was also observed. Additionally, the interaction between Ni and ZrO2 significantly affected the stability of the catalyst. This study will provide guidelines for optimizing the catalytic conversion of furan derivatives over heterogeneous catalysts.

Abstract
The development of effective and stable non-precious catalysts for hydrogenation of ester to diols remains a challenge. Herein, the catalytic hydrogenation of ethyl lactate (EL) to 1,2-propanediol (1,2-PDO) with supported Co catalysts derived from layered double hydroxides (LDHs) is investigated. Catalytic tests reveal that LDH-derived Co catalysts exhibit the best catalytic performance with 98 % of EL conversion and >99 % of 1,2-PDO selectivity at mild conditions, compared with other Co catalysts (supported on Al2 O3 , and TiO2 ) and LDH-derived Cu catalysts. Due to the strong interaction among Co and Al matrix, the main composition is metallic Co0 and CoO after reduction at 600 °C. Besides, the catalyst shows good recyclability in the liquid phase hydrogenation. The superior catalytic performance can be attributed to the synergistic effect between Co0 and CoO, in which H2 molecule is activated on Co0 and EL is strongly adsorbed on CoO via hydroxyl groups.

Abstract
The limited surface coverage and activity of active hydrides on oxide surfaces pose challenges for efficient hydrogenation reactions. Herein, we quantitatively distinguish the long-puzzling homolytic dissociation of hydrogen from the heterolytic pathway on Ga2O3, that is useful for enhancing hydrogenation ability of oxides. By combining transient kinetic analysis with infrared and mass spectroscopies, we identify the catalytic role of coordinatively unsaturated Ga3+ in homolytic H2 dissociation, which is formed in-situ during the initial heterolytic dissociation. This site facilitates easy hydrogen dissociation at low temperatures, resulting in a high hydride coverage on Ga2O3 (H/surface Ga3+ ratio of 1.6 and H/OH ratio of 5.6). The effectiveness of homolytic dissociation is governed by the Ga-Ga distance, which is strongly influenced by the initial coordination of Ga3+. Consequently, by tuning the coordination of active Ga3+ species as well as the coverage and activity of hydrides, we achieve enhanced hydrogenation of CO2 to CO, methanol or light olefins by 4-6 times.

Abstract
Electrochemical hydrogeneration (ECH) of biomass-derived platform molecules, which avoids the disadvantages in utilizing fossil fuel and gaseous hydrogen, is a promising route toward value-added chemicals production. Herein, we reported a CoO/Co heterostructure-supported Pt single atoms electrocatalyst (Pt1-CoO/Co) that exhibited an outstanding performance with a high conversion (>99%), a high Faradaic efficiency (87.6%), and robust stability (24 recyclability) at -20 mA/cm2 for electrochemical phenol hydrogenation to high-valued KA oil (a mixture of cyclohexanol and cyclohexanone). Experimental results and the density functional theory calculations demonstrated that Pt1-CoO/Co presented strong adsorption of phenol and hydrogen on the catalyst surface simultaneously, which was conducive to the transfer of the adsorbed hydrogen generated on the single atom Pt sites to activated phenol, and then, ECH of phenol with high performance was achieved instead of the direct hydrogen evolution reaction. This work described that the multicomponent synergistic single atom catalysts could effectively accelerate the ECH of phenol, which could help the achievement of large-scale biomass upgrading.

Abstract
Solar-driven high-value utilization of biomass and its derivatives has attracted tremendous attention in replacing fossil sources to generate chemicals. Developing high-performance photocatalysts to selectively catalyze bio-platform molecules remains a challenge. Herein, biomass-based 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) was efficiently and selectively photooxidized to 2, 5-diformylfuran (DFF) using a metal-free polyimide (PI). PI with moderate photooxidation capacity delivered high DFF selectivity of 91 % and high apparent quantum efficiency of 1.13 %, nearly 7 times higher than that of graphitic carbon nitride. Experimental measurements and theoretical calculations revealed that the band structure and photooxidation capability of PI can be continuously modulated by varying the molar ratio of amine and anhydride. Mechanism analysis depicted that holes and superoxide radicals play crucial roles in the efficient photooxidation of HMF to DFF. This work provides guidance on designing efficient polymeric photocatalysts for oxidating biomass and its derivatives to value-added chemicals.

Abstract
Hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) is an indispensable approach to produce renewable biofuels and value-added chemicals using natural biomass and its derivatives. 2,5-Dimethylfuran (DMF) is considered to be a very promising liquid biofuel, and it can be fabricated by HDO of the biomass derivative 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF). Herein, a highly efficient bifunctional catalyst, Co/HAP(Ce), was fabricated by anchoring highly dispersed Co on Ce-doped hydroxyapatite (HAP(Ce)). Co/HAP(Ce) displayed excellent HDO catalytic activity to convert HMF to DMF, and 99% HMF conversion and 96% DMF selectivity can be obtained under 150 °C, 2 MPa H2 conditions for 5 h. Density functional theory calculations revealed that H2 can be more easily activated by Co/HAP(Ce). Systematic studies confirmed that the high activity of Co/HAP(Ce) can be ascribed to the desired acid-alkali properties, highly dispersed cobalt species and strong metal-support interactions. This research provides a cost effective approach for designing efficient catalysts for HDO of biomass and its derivatives.

Oxidation of renewable polyol/sugar into formic acid using molecular O2 over heterogeneous catalysts is still challenging due to the insufficient activation of both O2 and organic substrates on coordination-saturated metal oxides. In this study, we develop a defective MnO2 catalyst through a coordination number reduction strategy to enhance the aerobic oxidation of various polyols/sugars to formic acid. Compared to common MnO2, the tri-coordinated Mn in the defective MnO2 catalyst displays the electronic reconstruction of surface oxygen charge state and rich surface oxygen vacancies. These oxygen vacancies create more Mnδ+ Lewis acid site together with nearby oxygen as Lewis base sites. This combined structure behaves much like Frustrated Lewis pairs, serving to facilitate the activation of O2, as well as C-C and C-H bonds. As a result, the defective MnO2 catalyst shows high catalytic activity (turnover frequency: 113.5 h-1) and formic acid yield (>80%) comparable to noble metal catalysts for glycerol oxidation. The catalytic system is further extended to the oxidation of other polyols/sugars to formic acid with excellent catalytic performance.

Abstract
Understanding the structural dynamics/evolution of catalysts and the related surface chemistry is essential for establishing structure-catalysis relationships, where spectroscopic and scattering tools play a crucial role. Among many such tools, neutron scattering, though less-known, has a unique power for investigating catalytic phenomena. Since neutrons interact with the nuclei of matter, the neutron-nucleon interaction provides unique information on light elements (mainly hydrogen), neighboring elements, and isotopes, which are complementary to X-ray and photon-based techniques. Neutron vibrational spectroscopy has been the most utilized neutron scattering approach for heterogeneous catalysis research by providing chemical information on surface/bulk species (mostly H-containing) and reaction chemistry. Neutron diffraction and quasielastic neutron scattering can also supply important information on catalyst structures and dynamics of surface species. Other neutron approaches, such as small angle neutron scattering and neutron imaging, have been much less used but still give distinctive catalytic information. This review provides a comprehensive overview of recent advances in neutron scattering investigations of heterogeneous catalysis, focusing on surface adsorbates, reaction mechanisms, and catalyst structural changes revealed by neutron spectroscopy, diffraction, quasielastic neutron scattering, and other neutron techniques. Perspectives are also provided on the challenges and future opportunities in neutron scattering studies of heterogeneous catalysis.

Abstract
The efficient hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) of biomass derivatives to yield specific products is a significant yet challenging task. In the present study, a Cu/CoOx catalyst was synthesized using a facile co-precipitation method, and subsequently used for the HDO of biomass derivatives. Under optimal reaction conditions, the conversion of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural reached 100% with a selectivity of ∼99% to 2,5-diformylfuran. In combination with the experimental results, systematic characterizations revealed that CoOx, as the acid site, tended to adsorb CO bonds, and the metal sites of Cu+ were inclined to adsorb CO bonds and enhance CO bond hydrogenation. Meanwhile, Cu0 was the main active site for 2-propanol dehydrogenation. The excellent catalytic performance could be attributed to the synergistic effects of Cu and CoOx. Further, by optimizing the ratio of Cu to CoOx, the Cu/CoOx catalysts exhibited notable performance in HDO of acetophenone, levulinic acid, and furfural, which verified the universality of the catalysts in the HDO of biomass derivatives.

Abstract
Eco-friendly renewable energy sources have recommended as fossil fuel alternatives in recent years to reduce environmental pollution and meet future energy demands in various sectors. As the largest source of renewable energy in the world, lignocellulosic biomass has received considerable interest from the scientific community to advance the fabrication of biofuels and ultrafine value-added chemicals. For example, biomass obtained from agricultural wastes could catalytically convert into furan derivatives. Among furan derivatives, 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) and 2, 5-dimethylfuran (DMF) are considered the most useful molecules that can be transformed into desirable products such as fuels and fine chemicals. Because of its exceptional properties, e.g., water insolubility and high boiling point, DMF has studied as the ideal fuel in recent decades. Interestingly, HMF, a feedstock upgraded from biomass sources can easily hydrogenate to produce DMF. In the present review, the current state of the art and studies on the transformation of HMF into DMF using noble metals, non-noble metals, bimetallic catalysts, and their composites have discussed elaborately. In addition, comprehensive insights into the operating reaction conditions and the influence of employed support over the hydrogenation process have demonstrated.

Abstract
The renewable-energy-driven integration of hydrogen production and biomass conversion into value-added products is desirable for the current global energy transition, but still a challenge. Herein, carbon-coated CoO–Co heterojunction arrays were built on copper foam (CoO–Co@C/CF) by the carbothermal reduction to catalyze the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) coupled with a 5-hydroxymethylfurfural electrooxidation reaction (HMFEOR). The electronic modulation induced by the CoO–Co heterojunction endows CoO–Co@C/CF with a powerful catalytic ability. CoO–Co@C/CF is energetic for HER, yielding an overpotential of 69 mV at 10 mA·cm−1 and Tafel slope of 58 mV·dec−1. Meanwhile, CoO–Co@C/CF delivers an excellent electrochemical activity for the selective conversion from HMF into 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA), achieving a conversion of 100%, FDCA yield of 99.4% and faradaic efficiency of 99.4% at the lower oxidation potential, along with an excellent cycling stability. The integrated CoO–Co@C/CF||CoO–Co@C/CF configuration actualizes the H2O–HMF-coupled electrolysis at a satisfactory cell voltage of 1.448 V at 10 mA·cm−2. This work highlights the feasibility of engineering double active sites for the coupled electrolytic system.

Abstract
Ethylene glycol (EG), a useful chemical raw material, has been widely applied in many aspects of modern society. The conventional preparation of ethylene glycol mainly uses the petroleum route at high temperatures and pressure. More and more approaches have been developed to synthesize EG from CO2 and its derivatives under mild conditions. In this review, the ambient synthesis of EG from thermocatalysis, photocatalysis, and electrocatalysis is highlighted. The coal-to-ethylene glycol technology, one of the typical thermal catalysis routes for EG preparation, is relatively mature. However, it still faces some problems to be solved in industrialization. The recent progress in the development of coal-to-ethylene glycol technology is introduced. The main focus is on how to realize the preparation of EG under mild conditions. The strategies include doping promoters, modification of supports, design of catalysts with special structures, etc. Furthermore, the emerging technological progress of photocatalytic and electrocatalytic ethylene glycol synthesis under ambient conditions is introduced. Compared with the thermal catalytic reaction, the reaction conditions are milder. However, there are still many problems in large-scale production. Finally, we propose future development issues and related prospects for the ambient synthesis of EG using different catalytic routes.

Abstract
Currently, less favorable C=O hydrogenation and weak concerted acid catalysis cause unsatisfactory catalytic performance in the upgrading of biomass-derived furfurals (i.e., furfural, 5-methyl furfural, and 5-hydroxymethyl furfural) to ketones (i.e., cyclopentanone, 2,5-hexanedione, and 1-hydroxyl-2,5-hexanedione). A series of partially oxidized MAX phase (i.e., Ti3 AlC2 , Ti2 AlC, Ti3 SiC2 ) supporting Pd catalysts were fabricated, which showed high catalytic activity; Pd/Ti3 AlC2 in particular displayed high performance for conversion of furfurals into targeted ketones. Detailed studies of the catalytic mechanism confirm that in situ hydrogen spillover generates Frustrated Lewis H+ -H- pairs, which not only act as the hydrogenation sites for selective C=O hydrogenation but also provide acid sites for ring opening. The close intimate hydrogenation and acid sites promote bifunctional catalytic reactions, substantially reducing the reported minimum reaction temperature of various furfurals by at least 30-60 °C.

Abstract
2D metallene nanomaterials have spurred considerable attention in heterogeneous catalysis by virtue of sufficient unsaturated metal atoms, high specific surface area and surface strain. Nevertheless, the strong metallic bonding in nanoparticles aggravates the difficulty in the controllable regulation of the geometry of metallenes. Here we propose an efficient galvanic replacement strategy to construct Pd metallenes loaded on Nb2C MXenes at room temperature, which is triggered by strong metal-support interaction based on MD simulations. The Pd metallenes feature a chair structure of six-membered ring with the coordination number of Pd as low as 3. Coverage-dependent kinetic analysis based on first-principles calculations reveals that the tripodal Pd metallenes promote the diffusion of alkene and inhibit its overhydrogenation. As a consequence, Pd/Nb2C delivers an outstanding turnover frequency of 10372 h-1 and a high selectivity of 96% at 25 oC in the semihydrogenation of alkynes without compromising the stability. This strategy is general and scalable considering the plentiful members of the MXene family, which can set a foundation for the design of novel supported-metallene catalysts for demanding transformations.

Abstract
Efficient conversion of biomass-derived 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) to renewable fuels such as 2,5-dimethylfuran (DMF) and 2,5-dimethyltetrahydrofuran (DMTHF) is of significance for sustainable energy supply. For efficient catalyst design, it is important to understand the catalytic behavior and clarify the influence of physico-chemical properties of catalyst on reaction performance. Herein, to study the structure-activity relationships of monometallic Cu catalysts for HMF hydrogenolysis, a series of Cu/SiO2 catalysts with different physico-chemical properties were prepared and compared for their catalytic performance in HMF hydrogenolysis. It was found that Cu/SiO2-HT-8.5 catalyst prepared by hydrothermal method showed excellent activity in HMF hydrohydrolysis reaction. Under the optimal reaction condition, the total yield of liquid fuels reaches 91.6% with 57.1% yield of DMF and 34.5% yield of DMTHF in THF solvent. Characterizations such as XRD, H2-TPR, N2-adsorption/desorption, TEM and XPS revealed that the Cu particles in the Cu/SiO2-HT-8.5 catalyst have uniform size and high dispersion. The Cu species and the SiO2 support have relatively weak interaction and are easy to be reduced to Cu0, which makes it show excellent activity in the hydrogenolysis of HMF.

Controlled Oxidation of Cobalt Nanoparticles to Obtain Co/CoO/Co3O4 Composites with Different Co Content. NANOMATERIALS 2022; 12:nano12152523. [PMID: 35893491 PMCID: PMC9331854 DOI: 10.3390/nano12152523] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/20/2022] [Revised: 07/14/2022] [Accepted: 07/20/2022] [Indexed: 02/04/2023]
Abstract
The paper studies patterns of interaction of electroexplosive Co nanoparticles with air oxygen during heating. The characteristics of Co nanoparticles and composite Co/CoO/Co3O4 nanoparticles formed as a result of oxidation were studied using transmission electron microscopy, X-ray phase analysis, thermogravimetric analysis, differential scanning calorimetry, and vibrating sample magnetometry. It was established that nanoparticles with similar morphology in the form of hollow spheres with different content of Co, CoO, and Co3O4 can be produced by varying oxidation temperatures. The influence of the composition of composite nanoparticles on their magnetic characteristics is shown.
