A wide variety of commodity chemicals can be produced from the catalytic oxidation of
carbohydrates or carbohydrate derived molecules including formic acid, acetic acid, glycolic …

Formic acid is a widely used commodity chemical. It can be used as a safe, easily handled,
and transported source of hydrogen or carbon monoxide for different reactions, including …

Formic acid, the simplest carboxylic acid, is found in nature or can be easily synthesized in
the laboratory (major by-product of some second generation biorefinery processes); it is also …

The efficient utilization of biomass, the only globally available, renewable and abundant
carbon-neutral source, is of high significance in green and sustainable chemistry …

In this review article, we consider the use of molecular oxygen in reactions mediated by
polyoxometalates. Polyoxometalates are anionic metal oxide clusters of a variety of …

Biomass has emerged as a potential alternative feedstock to dwindling fossil fuel reserves.
Starting in the 1990s, extensive research has been directed towards the synthesis of useful …

Mono-functional catalytic materials are used for many types of chemical transformations, but
are tedious for delivering products from multiple-step reactions required for the valorization …

Biomass is renewable and the most abundant carbon resource, and it shows great potential
for sustainable production of chemicals in the future. With respect to limited fossil reserves …

Excessive utilization of fossil fuels has resulted in serious concerns about climate change.
Integrating biorefinery technology to convert waste-derived-lignocellulosic biomass into …

The escalating global demand for chemicals and energy, coupled with the rising carbon
emissions resulting from the extraction and combustion of fossil fuels, has had detrimental …
