Biomass is renewable and the most abundant carbon resource, it shows great potential for sustainable production of chemicals in future. With respect to limited fossil reserves, biomass conversion has aroused global attention. The use as a resource developed rapidly recent years, various kinds could be produced from biomass. Although annually abundant, important process efficient way. Before rushing into conversion, necessary consider what are reasonably economically In this Review, we first...

To reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, biomass has been increasingly developed as a renewable and clean alternative to fossil fuels because of its carbon-neutral characteristics. China investigating the rational development use bioenergy for developing energy achieving carbon neutrality. Substituting with multi-source multi-approach utilized corresponding reduction in remain largely unexplored. Here, comprehensive accounting model multi-dimensional analysis was by combining spatial, life...

Biomass reforming by harvesting solar energy can provide green hydrogen. Current biomass photoreforming provides H2 erratically and in limited yield although efficiently, owing to intermittent features of light incomplete degradation C–C bonds. Here, we detour the flaws prioritizing conversion carbohydrates liquid hydrogen carriers (LHCs, consisting HCOOH HCHO), appropriate for transportation. Subsequently, LHCs are fully decomposed, releasing only CO2. This stepwise process enables complete...

Lignin is a renewable and abundant aromatic polymer found in plants. We herein propose "cutting tail" methodology to produce phenol from lignin, which achieved by combining Ru/CeO2 catalyst CuCl2 oxidant via an oxidation–hydrogenation route. Phenol was obtained separated poplar lignin with 13 wt % yield. Even raw biomass, such as poplar, birch, pine, peanut, bamboo willow, straw, could be converted into 1–33 mg per gram of biomass.

Abstract Natural gas is one of the foremost basic energy sources on earth. Although biological process appears as promising valorization routes to transfer biomass sustainable methane, recalcitrance lignocellulosic major limitation for production mixing meet natural composition pipeline transportation. Here we develop a catalytic-drive approach directly solid bio-natural which can be suitable current infrastructure. A catalyst with Ni 2 Al 3 alloy phase enables nearly complete conversion...

Value decomposition (VD) has become one of the most prominent solutions in cooperative multi-agent reinforcement learning. Most existing methods generally explore how to factorize joint value and minimize discrepancies between agent observations characteristics environmental states. However, direct may result limited representation or difficulty optimization. Orthogonal designing a new factorization scheme, this paper, we propose Heterogeneous Policy Fusion (HPF) integrate strengths various...

Hydrogen (H2) has emerged as an ideal, clean, and versatile energy carrier, which would play important role in providing a more competitive economy the future. Owing to recalcitrance structure of biomass with complex composition, achieving high-efficiency H2 production from lignocellulosic under mild conditions remains challenging. Here, catalytic-drive strategy was developed accomplish direct transformation raw relative low-temperature. The nickel–molybdenum catalyst enabled almost complete...

Abstract Valuable polyester monomers and plasticizers—1,4‐cyclohexanedimethanol (CHDM), 1,4‐cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid (CHDA), 1,2‐cyclohexanedicarboxylates—have been prepared by a new strategy. The synthetic processes involve proline‐catalyzed formal [3+1+2] cycloaddition of formaldehyde, crotonaldehyde, acrylate (or fumarate). CHDM is produced after subsequent hydrogenation step over commercially available Cu/Zn/Al catalyst one‐pot hydrogenation/oxidation/hydrolysis process yields CHDA,...
