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.

Ruthenium on phosphorous-modified alumina as an effective and stable catalyst for catalytic transfer hydrogenation of furfural. RSC Adv 2020; 10:11507-11516.

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.![]()

CNF-Functionalization as Versatile Tool for Tuning Activity in Cellulose-Derived Product Hydrogenation. Molecules 2019; 24:molecules24020316.

Abstract
Carbon nanofibers (CNFs) have been functionalized by introducing O, N, and P containing groups in order to investigate the effect of support functionalization in Ru catalysed hydroxymethyl furfural (HMF) and levulinic acid (LA) hydrogenation. In the case of HMF, despite the fact that no effect on selectivity was observed (all the catalysts produced selectively gamma-valerolactone (GVL)), the functionalization strongly affected the activity of the reaction. O-containing and N-containing supports presented a higher activity compared to the bare support. On the contrary, in HMF hydrogenation, functionalization of the support did not have a beneficial effect on the activity of a Ru-catalysed reaction with respect to bare support and only CNFs-O behaved similarly to bare CNFs. In fact, when CNFs-N or CNFs-P were used as the supports, a lower activity was observed, as well as a change in selectivity in which the production of ethers (from the reaction with the solvent) greatly increased.

Abstract
The catalytic hydrogenation of lactic acid to 1,2-propanediol with supported Ru catalysts in water was investigated. The influence of catalyst support (activated carbon, γ-Al2O3, SiO2, TiO2, and CeO2) and promoters (Pd, Au, Mo, Re, Sn) on the catalytic performance was evaluated. Catalytic tests revealed that TiO2 yields the best Ru catalysts. With a monometallic Ru/TiO2 catalyst, a 1,2-propanediol yield of 70 % at 79 % lactic acid conversion was achieved at 130 °C after 20 h reaction. Minor byproducts of the hydrogenation reaction were propionic acid, ethanol, 1-propanol, and 2-propanol. For the bimetallic catalysts, the addition of Pd and Au slightly enhanced the performance of Ru/TiO2, whereas the addition of common hydrogenation promoters such as Re, Mo, and Sn impaired the activity.

Abstract
Au-based catalysts are widely used in important processes because of their peculiar characteristics. The catalyst performance depends strongly on the nature and structure of the metal nanoparticles, especially in the case of bimetallic catalysts where synergistic effects between the two metals can be occasionally seen. In this paper, it is shown that electrochemical characterisation (cyclovoltammetry CV and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy EIS) of AuPd systems can be used to determine the presence of an electronic interaction between the two metals, thus providing a strong support in the determination of the nature of the synergy between Au and Pd in the liquid phase oxidation of alcohols. However, it seems likely that the strong difference in the catalytic behavior between the single metals and the bimetallic system is connected not only to the redox behaviour, but also to the energetic balance between the different elementary steps of the reaction.
