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 …

Furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) has been considered as a good precursor, instead of
petroleum-derived terephthalate acid (TPA), for producing green polymers such as …

Heterogeneous single-site catalysts consist of isolated, well-defined, active sites that are
spatially separated in a given solid and, ideally, structurally identical. In this review, the …

Aerobic oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) to 2, 5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) as
a bioplastics monomer is efficiently promoted by a simple system based on a nonprecious …

Transformation of biomass to chemicals and fuels is a long-term goal in both science and
industry. However, high cost is one of the major obstacles to the industrialization of this …

Polymeric materials play a key role in modern industry. Owing to outstanding and very
