Lignin-derived bio-oil required upgrades to reduce its oxygen functionalities to produce high
quality liquid fuel that is comparable to those of petroleum source. Hydrodeoxygenation is a …

Hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) of lignin-derived phenolic compounds is one of the most
promising strategies for the practical conversion of biomass materials to chemicals and …

Transition metal phosphides (TMP) posses unique physiochemical, geometrical, and
electronic properties, which can be exploited for different catalytic applications, such as …

CdS photocorrosion seriously impeded its application in photocatalysis, especially for water
splitting. Here we report new strategies to improve CdS photocorrosion resistance properties …

A strategy for low-temperature synthesis of hydrotalcite-based nickel phosphide catalysts
(Ni2P-Al2O3) with flower-like porous structures was proposed. The in situ reduction of red …

Fast pyrolysis converts> 60 wt% of lignocellulosic materials into bio-oil. The two-step bio-oil
hydrotreatment concept has had a major impact in the development of bio-oil hydro …

Advances in heterogeneous catalysis are driven by the structure–function relationships that
define catalyst performance (ie, activity, selectivity, lifetime). To understand these …

The utilization of lignin-derived compounds is an important part of biomass valorization. One
promising way to achieve this goal is to reduce/eliminate the oxygen content via …

The accumulation of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere resulting from the extensive use
of fossil fuels and the depletion of oil reserves due to the increasing demands for energy …

Biodiesel as a substitute of traditional petroleum-derived liquid fuels has been put into use in
recent years. However, the first generation biodiesel (fatty acid methyl esters) with high …
