Biomass is a plentiful renewable source of energy, food, feed and chemicals. It fixes about 1–
2% of the solar energy received by the Earth through photosynthesis in both terrestrial and …

A highly efficient catalyst system was developed for the one-pot transformation of furfural to γ-
valerolactone (GVL) in an open system. The cascade of two Meerwein Ponndorf Verley …

Kraft lignin depolymerization to liquid fuels with high yields is crucial to the comprehensive
achievement of sustainable and economic feasibility. Herein, we prepared a bimetallic Co …

A series of delaminated MWW-type Zr-Al-SCM-1 zeolites with large external surface area
have been synthesized through a post-synthesized method by partial dealumination of SCM …

Aluminum ion exchange was employed to introduce Lewis acidity into zeolites BEA,
mordenite (MOR), MFI, and FAU (Si/Al= 11–15) and thereby evaluate what factors affect the …

The growing demand of energy needs the search for alternative energy sources different to
fossil fuels. The use of biomass as energy source is one of the most studied, because there …

The production of jet-fuel precursors from furfural (FUR) via aldol-condensation with methyl-
isobutyl ketone (MIBK) over a defective UiO-66 (Zr) catalyst is presented. The resultant C11 …

The optimization of the production of γ-valerolactone (GVL) from furfural (FAL) through a
cascade of transformations involving hydrogen transfer and different acid-driven reactions …

Zirconium-substituted zeolites prepared by post-synthetic procedure have demonstrated
excellent performance in the upgrading process of biomass platform compounds owing to …

Conversion of renewable compounds to versatile platform molecules over environmentally
friendly heterogeneous catalysts is of increasing demand. Bifunctional Zr, Al-containing …
