“…The interaction renders enhanced mass transfer rates between the catalysts and cellulosic materials and thereby high hydrolysis efficiencies. This finding inspires studies on a variety of carbon-based catalysts prepared from different raw materials, such as mesoporous carbon (CMK-3) (Pang et al, 2010), mesoporous silicon oxide/carbon composite (Van de Vyver et al, 2010), magnetic oxide/sulfonated carbon shell composite , graphene oxide (GO) (Kitano et al, 2009;Verma et al, 2013;Zhao et al, 2014;Mission et al, 2017;Zhang et al, 2017), and lignin Zhu et al, 2016;Gan et al, 2017;Wang et al, 2020;Zhu et al, 2020). In these studies, GO-based catalysts demonstrate excellent performance for cellulose hydrolysis.…”
