“…The catalyst was stable for up to five consecutive cycles without any significant loss of activity. The ruthenium NPs facilitated the activation and dissociation of hydrogen, whereas MoO x species were responsible for adsorption and carbonyl group activation [98]. Nickel catalysts supported on mixed metal oxide were synthesized from LDHs precursors with carbonate or nitrate as the interlayer anions.…”

The concomitant hydrolysis and dehydration of biomass-derived cellulose and hemicellulose to furfural (FUR) and 5-(hydroxymethyl)furfural (HMF) under acid catalysis allows a dramatic reduction in the oxygen content of the parent sugar molecules with a 100% carbon economy. However, most applications of FUR or HMF necessitate synthetic modifications. Catalytic hydrogenation and hydrogenolysis have been recognized as efficient strategies for the selective deoxygenation and energy densification of biomass-derived furfurals generating water as the sole byproduct. Efficient and eco-friendly catalysts have been developed for the selective hydrogenation of furfurals affording renewable furanic compounds such as 2-methylfuran, 2,5-dimethylfuran and 2-methyltetrahydrofuran with potential applications as biofuel, solvent and chemical feedstock. Hydrogen gas or hydrogen donor molecules, required for the above processes, can also be renewably obtained from biomass using catalytic processes, enabling a circular economy. In this review, the recent developments in the energy densification of furfurals to furanic compounds of commercial significance are elaborated, emphasizing the role of catalyst and the reaction parameters employed. Critical discussion on sourcing hydrogen gas required for the processes, using hydrogen donor solvents, catalyst design and the potential markets of furanic intermediates have been made. Critical evaluations of the accomplishments and challenges in this field are also provided.

“…Water-mediated protonation of hydrogen favors the hydrogenation of C=O and inhibits the hydrogenation of furan ring group. [25] On the other hand, the synthesis of cyclopentanones involves multifarious catalytic centers over reduced metal/acidic supports and synergistically controls selective hydrogenation of C=O and the subsequent ring rearrangement steps in water solvent. [14,16,[26][27][28][29][30] The controllable synthesis of tetrahydrofuran alcohols and cyclopentanones is highly desirable using green, non-toxic, and cheap water as a solvent.…”

Developing a highly selective catalyst to upgrade furfurals (5hydroxymethyl furfural and furfural) to cyclopentanones (3hydroxymethyl cyclopentanone and cyclopentanone) and tetrahydrofuran alcohols (2,5-bishydroxymethyl tetrahydrofuran and tetrahydrofuran alcohol) is highly significant for biobased fine chemical synthesis. Here, a series of La 2 B 2 O 7 (B=Ti, Zr, Ce) metal oxides, featuring the same chemical formula but different topological structures are fabricated. After Pd loading, the Lewis acidity and metal-support interaction are well governed by the support type, which further affects the hydrogenation and acid-catalyzed ability. A greater than 82 % yield of cyclopentanones is obtained via a hydrogenative ring rearrangement route over Pd/La 2 Ti 2 O 7 . However, Pd/La 2 Ce 2 O 7 shows high catalytic efficiency for tetrahydrofuran alcohols with an approximately 80 % yield via a complete hydrogenation route. Additionally, the catalyst exhibits outstanding recycling performance and structural stability. This study presents an interesting design strategy for the selective preparation of cyclopentanones and tetrahydrofuran alcohols through the regulation of the adsorption mechanism.

“…have also been proved excellent candidates for N‐containing carbonaceous supports 25–28 . Nonetheless, from the environmental and economic point of view, bio‐inspired templating techniques using nature polymers (protein, chitosan, cellulose) as catalyst supports are more advisable and sustainable 29–30 …”

The exploitation of recycled carbonaceous catalysts from renewable biomass resources such as chitin is a crucial issue for the development of the sustainable society. In this article, the chitin‐based N and O doped carbon microspheres (ChC) were fabricated by a simple dissolution, sol–gel transformation, and the carbonization methods. Subsequently, the novel magnetic Ag‐Fe3O4@chitin‐based carbon microspheres catalyst (MChC) was successfully constructed through the in situ redox reaction. The as‐prepared MChC possessed rich micropores with high‐surface area, and a narrow size distribution (50–120 μm). The Ag‐Fe3O4 nanoparticles were immobilized through the interaction with C, N, and O atoms in the pores of MChC. The reduction of 4‐nitrophenol was applied to evaluate the catalytic activity of MChC. 4‐Nitrophenol (4‐NP) could be fully reduced to 4‐aminophenol (4‐AP) in 5 min with the catalyst MChC‐45. Moreover, MChC could be collected in solution with an external magnet in 8 s and remained relatively high‐catalytic activity after 10 cycle times. This work provided novel ideas for the fabrication of doped carbon material from biomass and promoted its utilization in nanocatalytic applications.
