This review represents an overview of the status quo furan-based monomers and related bio-based polymers, highlighting key challenges for scaling from lab to pre-industrial levels.
A unique composite of the copper-based metal–organic framework (Cu-benzene tricarboxylic acid (BTC)) with oxidized graphitic carbon nitride nanospheres is synthesized. For comparison, a hybrid material consisting g-C3N4 and Cu-BTC also obtained. Their surface features are analyzed using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, sorption nitrogen, thermal analysis, scanning electron microscopy, photoluminescence, diffuse reflectance UV–Vis spectroscopy. The results suggest...
Smart textiles consisting of cotton, Cu-BTC MOF and oxidized graphitic carbon nitride, g-C3N4-ox, nanospheres were synthesized tested as nerve agent detoxification media colorimetric detectors. Combining g-C3N4-ox resulted in a nanocomposite (MOFgCNox) heterogeneous porosity chemistry. Upon the deposition MOFgCNox onto cotton textiles, stable fabric with supreme photocatalytic ability towards gas surrogate, dimethyl chlorophosphate, was obtained. The process accompanied by visible gradual...
The valorization of natural and renewable resources, like lignocellulosic biomass, towards value-added chemicals by low energy economically viable processes still remains a global research technological challenge. 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) is an important platform chemical that can be easily derived from it further used as feedstock for the production building blocks polymers or fuels. In this context, partial oxidation hydroxyl group on HMF molecule leads to formation corresponding...
Over the last decades, there has been significant progress toward development of advanced electrochemical processes in fields energy production and storage, surface modification materials environmental remediation. Within context biomass valorization biorefineries, oxidation 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), one top biomass-derived platform chemicals, to 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA), a valuable monomer building block polyethylene furanoate (PEF), emerged as promising sustainable...
Selective upgrade of lignocellulosic biomass-derived aromatic compounds by photocatalytic oxidation is assumed as a prosperous, environmentally friendly, and cost-effective process. We present for the first time application various advantageous titanium oxide nano-photocatalysts additives-free selective partial benzyl alcohol to benzaldehyde at ambient conditions. The two best-performing materials were found titanate nanotubes nanocores anatase surrounded amorphous hydroxide phase. results...
Textile effluents pose a massive threat to the aquatic environment, so, sustainable approaches for environmentally friendly multifunctional remediation methods degradation are still challenge. In this study, composites consisting of bismuth oxyhalide nanoparticles, specifically oxychloride (BiOCl) nanoplatelets, and lignin-based biochar were synthesized following one-step hydrolysis synthesis. The simultaneous photocatalytic adsorptive efficiency Biochar-BiOCl studied removal benchmark azo...
