Abstract
The valorization of non-grain biomass feedstocks to value-added chemicals, polymers and alternative fuels is a crucial route for the utilization of renewable resources. Inulin belongs to a type of fructans, which is a pivotal platform bridging upstream fructose-rich biomass feedstocks typically represented by Jerusalem artichoke and downstream platform molecules such as alcohols, aldehydes and acids. Fructose can be directly obtained from the inulin hydrolysis and further converted into various platform chemicals, which is a more environmentally economical route than the conventional catalytic upgrading of cellulose. Nevertheless, most perspectives over the last decade have focused on the valorization of cellulose-derived carbohydrates, without much emphasis on the practical importance of one-pot transformation of inulin. In this review, we aim to demonstrate an efficient one-pot tandem transformation system of the inulin as fructose-rich platform towards 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF). Core concerns are placed on elucidating the contributing roles of acid sites and solvents in enhancing the overall catalytic performance. The perspectives presented in this review may contribute to the innovation in the catalytic refining of fructose-rich non-grain biomass and the development of a greener biomass-based energy system.

Uranium capture by a layered 2D/2D niobium phosphate/holey graphene architecture via an electro-adsorption and electrocatalytic reduction coupling process. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2023; 442:130054.

Abstract
As an energy-efficient and eco-friendly technique, capacitive deionization (CDI) has shown great potential for uranium (U(VI)) capture recently. However, extracting U(VI) with high kinetics, capacity and selectivity remains a major challenge due to the current surface active sites-based material and co-existing ions in aqueous solution. Here we rationally designed a layered 2D/2D niobium phosphate/holey graphene (HGNbP) electrode material, and originally demonstrated its efficient U(VI) capture ability via an electro-adsorption and electrocatalytic reduction coupling process. The less-accumulative loose layered architecture, open polycrystalline construction of niobium phosphate with active phosphate sites, and rich in-plane nano-pores on conductive graphene nanosheets endowed HGNbP with fast charge/ion transport, high electroconductivity and superior pseudocapacitance, which enabled U(VI) ions first to be electro-adsorbed, then physico-chemical adsorbed, and finally electrocatalysis reduced/deposited onto electrode surface without the limitation of active sites under a low potential of 1.2 V. Based on these virtues, the HGNbP exhibited a fast adsorption kinetics, with a high removal rate of 99.9% within 30 min in 50 mg L-1 U(VI) solution, and a high adsorption capacity up to 1340 mg g-1 in 1000 mg L-1 U(VI) solution. Furthermore, the good recyclability and selectivity towards U(VI) were also realized.

Phosphate doping as a promising approach to improve reactivity of Nb 2O 5 in catalytic activation of hydrogen peroxide and removal of methylene blue via adsorption and oxidative degradation. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2022; 440:129783. [PMID: 36027741 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2022.129783] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/09/2022] [Revised: 07/28/2022] [Accepted: 08/13/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
This study is devoted to the evaluation of the influence of phosphate dopants on the reactivity of Nb2O5-based nanomaterials in the combined catalytic activation of H2O2 and the elimination of methylene blue (MB) from an aqueous solution via adsorption and chemical degradation. For this purpose, several niobia-based catalysts doped with various amounts of phosphate were prepared by a facile hydrothermal method and subsequent calcination. Phosphate doping was shown to strongly enhance the ability of Nb2O5 to activate H2O2, as well as to adsorb and degrade MB. The most pronounced differences in the reactivity of the parent Nb2O5 and phosphate-doped samples were observed under strongly acidic conditions (pH ~ 2.4), at which the most active modified catalysts (Nb/P molar ratio = 5/1) was approximately 6 times more efficient in the removal of MB. The observed enhancement of reactivity was attributed to the increased generation of singlet oxygen 1O2, which was identified as the main oxidizing agent responsible for efficient degradation of MB. To our knowledge, it is the first report revealing that phosphate doping of Nb2O5 resulted in an improved activity of niobia in the adsorption and degradation of organic pollutants.
