Furans represent one of the most important classes of intermediates in the conversion of non-
edible lignocellulosic biomass into bio-based chemicals and fuels. At present, bio-furan …

Due to the depletion of fossil sources, it is imperative to develop a sustainable and carbon-
neutral biorefinery for supporting the fuel and chemical supply in modern society. Lignin, the …

H2 dissociation plays crucial roles in catalytic hydrogenation reactions and hydrogen
storage. Metal-nanoparticle-based heterogeneous catalysts often dissociate H2 via a …

In the context of a carbon neutral economy, catalytic CO2 hydrogenation to methanol is one
crucial technology for CO2 mitigation providing solutions for manufacturing future fuels …

The use of 3d metals in de/hydrogenation catalysis has emerged as a competitive field with
respect to “traditional” precious metal catalyzed transformations. The introduction of …

As a safe and environmentally friendly selective hydrogenation method, catalytic transfer
hydrogenation (CTH) has aroused great interest in preparation of high-value-added …

Cobalt has become increasingly attractive in homogeneous catalysis because of its unique
