In recent years, substantial interest has been devoted to the conversion of biomass-derived carbohydrates into furanic aldehydes such as furfural, 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) and 5-halomethylfurfural, because these products are considered important versatile intermediates that can be further transformed a wide variety high performance fuels value-added chemicals. However, low yields production costs due special chemical structures properties large extent have limited practical aldehydes....
In recent years, 2,5-dihydroxymethylfuran (DHMF), which can be produced by the selective hydrogenation of biomass-derived 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), has attracted great attention and interest many scientists because its peculiar symmetrical structure wide potential applications. At present, studies production DHMF are quickly progressing, with productive approaches being increasingly developed, crucial achievements have been continually obtained. However, to date, a special real-time...
The catalytic oxidation of biomass-derived 5-(hydroxymethyl)furfural (HMF) to 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) is a promising route produce bioplastic monomers. Developing budget non-noble-metal catalysts for the efficient air-oxidation HMF FDCA highly demanded but challenging. In this contribution, we present facile and green vitamin C (VC)-assisted solid-state grinding method synthesizing mesoporous Mn–Co spinel oxides with improved oxygen vacancy (Ov) concentration, which could offer...
Abstract As a special type of photodetectors, the bipolar photodetectors (BPDs) have attracted extensive attention because their unique positive and negative outputs, endowing them attractive applications, such as optical communication, logic gate, imaging. However, there is still insufficient understanding working mechanisms device structures BPDs, which limits optoelectronic performances practical applications. This review focuses on principles, constructions, applications BPDs. First,...
Catalytic transfer hydrogenation of biomass-derived HMF to the building block BHMF <italic>via</italic> MPV reduction over ZrO(OH)<sub>2</sub> using ethanol as hydrogen donor.
A simple and efficient process was presented for the selective hydrogenation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) into high-quality liquid fuel 2,5-dimethylfuran (DMF) in presence tetrahydrofuran (THF). Among employed metal catalysts, relatively inexpensive carbon-supported ruthenium (Ru/C) displayed highest catalytic performance, which led to 94.7% DMF yield with 100% HMF conversion at a mild reaction temperature 200 °C only 2 h. Although Ru/C had little loss activity when it used five...
A green and efficient process was developed for the conversion of biomass-derived ethyl levulinate (EL) into γ-valerolactone (GVL) using supercritical ethanol as hydrogen donor reaction medium over low-cost eco-friendly ZrO2 catalysts, which were prepared by precipitation method characterized BET, SEM, XRD, FT-IR, TGA-DTA, TPD-NH3 TPD-CO2. The results indicated that amorphous with a high specific surface area large number acid–base sites exhibited highest catalytic activity, an excellent GVL...
It is challenging to effectively convert 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) 2,5-diformylfuran (DFF), a flexible biobased building-block, over non-noble metal catalysts. In this contribution, Mn–Fe oxides were prepared and served as highly active catalysts for the selective oxidation of HMF DFF. Among with varied molar ratios, Mn6Fe1Ox showed best catalytic activity offered conversion up 97% DFF selectivity 98% (110 °C, 5 h, 1.5 MPa O2). revealed that introduction α-Fe2O3 resulted in significant...
