The applications of copper (Cu) and Cu-based nanoparticles, which are based on the earth-
abundant and inexpensive copper metal, have generated a great deal of interest in recent …

Electrochemical CO2 conversion to value‐added multicarbon (C2+) chemicals holds
promise for reducing CO2 emissions and advancing carbon neutrality. However, achieving …

Catalytic hydrogenation of furfural (FFL) to furfuryl alcohol (FAL) is one of the pivotal
reactions for biomass valorization. Herein, well-defined Cu nanoparticles of∼ 1.8 nm …

Subnanometric Cu clusters that contain only a small number of atoms exhibit unique and,
often, unexpected catalytic behaviors compared with Cu nanoparticles and single atoms …

Heterogeneous catalysts often undergo structural transformations when they operate under
thermal reaction conditions. These transformations are reflected in their evolving catalytic …

Ethylene glycol (EG) is an important organic compound and chemical intermediate used in a
large number of industrial processes (eg energy, plastics, automobiles, and chemicals) …

Synthesis of high-value-added chemicals from biomass and/or biomass-derived platform
molecules is considered an important strategy to mitigate the global dependency on fossil …

This Review describes recent advances in the design, synthesis, reactivity, selectivity,
structural, and electronic properties of the catalysts for reforming of a variety of oxygenates …

This paper describes an emerging synthetic route for the production of ethanol (with a yield
of∼ 83%) via syngas using Cu/SiO2 catalysts. The remarkable stability and efficiency of the …
