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 …

Lignocellulosic biomass is the most abundant carbon source and it is a base of the whole
biorefinery concept. Levoglucosan (1, 6-anhydro-β-D-glucopyranose)(LG) is an anhydrous …

Abstract One pot synthesis of 2, 5‐dimethylfuran (2, 5‐DMF) from saccharides under mild
conditions is of importance for the production of biofuel and fine chemicals. However, the …

Biomass valorization has emerged as a promising and sustainable means of
accommodating value-added chemicals. To produce such chemicals, various transformation …

Photoreforming of lignocellulosic biomass is an emerging and sustainable strategy for
coproduction of high-value chemicals and fuels. Challenges remain to selectively convert …

A single-step protocol was developed for the hydrolytic hydrogenation of microcrystalline
cellulose into sorbitol over commercial carbon-supported Ru, in the presence of gaseous …

Maltitol has been identified as an important value-added chemical with versatile applications
and is typically manufactured via the catalytic hydrogenation of maltose, which is in urgent …

Metal phosphide catalysts have attracted attention for organic synthesis owing to their
stability and high activity. Nevertheless, metal–support interactions and support-boosted …

Biomass-derived fast pyrolysis liquids (PLs) are not directly applicable as transportation
fuels due to their high oxygen content and limited storage stability. Catalytic hydrotreatment …

Biomass pyrolysis liquids (bio-oils) unavoidably require catalytic hydrodeoxygenation (HDO)
for their upgrading and stabilization for commercial usage. The complex composition of bio …
