In the search of alternative resources to make commodity chemicals and transportation fuels for a low carbon future, lignocellulosic biomass with over 180-billion-ton annual production rate has been identified as promising feedstock. This review focuses on state-of-the-art catalytic transformation into value-added fuels. Following brief introduction structure, major pretreatment methods biomass, conversion three main components, i.e., cellulose, hemicellulose lignin, various compounds are...

Selective conversion of renewable sources is necessary for developing energy generation technology and protecting the environment. Herein, this work reports a one-step controllable synthesis trimetallic NiCoFe-layered double hydroxides (NiCoFe-LDHs) nanosheets (1.36 nm) both an efficient oxygen evolution reaction (OER) highly selective oxidation biomass-derived 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMFOR) into value-added 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA). For comparison, two sets bimetallic NiCo-...

Spinel oxides are recognized as promising Fenton-like catalysts for the degradation of antibiotics. However, catalytic performance is restrained by poor electron transfer rate (ETR). Herein, hollow NiCo2O4@C nanocages rationally designed and prepared to accelerate ETR in peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation tetracycline (TC) degradation.

Simultaneous electrocatalytic reduction and oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) is crucial for biomass refineries. Herein, we report the unprecedentedly high efficiency nearly complete conversion biomass-derived HMF to value-added products, achieving >95% selectivity at −0.4 V vs RHE by pairing (PERO) reactions in a single electrochemical cell. At cathode, achieved 99% 2,5-dihydroxymethylfuran (DHMF) ∼99% yield under mild conditions using PtRu alloy. anode, observed HMF, perfect...
