The catalytic hydrogenation of esters and carboxylic acids represents a fundamental and
important class of organic transformations, which is widely applied in energy, environmental …

Ethanol, as one of the important bulk chemicals, is widely used in modern society. It can be
produced by fermentation of sugar, petroleum refining, or conversion of syngas (CO/H2) …

Selective hydrogenation reactions provide a pivotal and promising strategy for upgrading
substances with unsaturated functional groups, in which supported non-noble metal …

Cu-based catalysts possess prominent properties in the selective hydrogenation of carbon-
oxygen bonds but suffer from low stability due to high-temperature sintering. Dandelion-like …

In the utilization of renewable resources derived from biomass, hydrodeoxygenation (HDO)
is one of the most critical steps in the bio-oil upgrading process. Herein, a series of copper …

Phyllosilicates, or sheet silicates, are an important group of minerals that include micas,
chlorite, serpentine, talc and so on. Many transient metals can be incorporated into …

What should people do with the huge amount of CO2 captured? CO2 to CO is a promising
way for using carbon resources because CO is one component of syngas for the production …

The utilization of carbon resources stored in plastic polymers through chemical recycling
and upcycling is a promising approach for mitigating plastic waste. However, most current …

The insufficient catalytic stability of Cu-based catalysts is still its bottleneck in industrial
application, and it is widely studied how to synthesize highly stable Cu-based catalysts …

The direct dehydrogenation of ethyl lactate (EL) to produce ethyl pyruvate (EP) over non-
precious heterogeneous catalysts is highly desirable, but challenging. Herein, we report a …
