“…The mechanism of hydrolytic hydrogenation of cellulose to alditols is analogous to that of hydrolytic hydrogenation of hemicelluloses, and the combined catalysis through acid and metal sites is necessary for the conversion of cellulose into alditols. As shown in Scheme b, the conversion of cellobiose/cellulose into alditols is a cascade reaction process that comprises the hydrolysis of cellulose/cellobiose into glucose catalyzed by acid sites and the hydrogenation of glucose into sorbitol and mannitol over metal sites . Nevertheless, a higher reaction temperature and greater acid content are generally required for the highly efficient conversion of cellulose into alditols relative to hemicelluloses because of the recalcitrant structure of cellulose.…”

Shifting from petroleum‐based resources to inedible biomass for the production of valuable chemicals and fuels is one of the significant aspects in sustainable chemistry for realizing the sustainable development of our society. Various renowned biobased platform molecules, such as 5‐hydroxymethylfurfural, furfural, levulinic acid, and lactic acid, are successfully accessible from the transformation of biobased sugars. To achieve the specific reaction routes, heterogeneous nanoporous acidic materials have served as promising catalysts for the conversion of bio‐sugars in the past decade. This Review summarizes advances in various nanoporous acidic materials for bio‐sugar conversion, in which the number of carbon atoms is variable and controllable with the assistance of the switchable structure of nanoporous materials. The major focus of this Review is on possible reaction pathways/mechanisms and the relationships between catalyst structure and catalytic performance. Moreover, representative examples of catalytic upgrading of biobased platform molecules to biochemicals and fuels through selective C−C cleavage and coupling strategies over nanoporous acidic materials are also discussed.

“…For instance, sorbitol is used as low-calorie sweetener, a component in toothpaste, and a feedstock for the production of vitamin C. Typically, sorbitol is commercially produced by the one-step catalytic hydrogenation of glucose [11]. Additionally, since glucose may be hydrolyzed from cellulose or cellobiose, many researches have investigated the two-step catalytic conversion of cellulose or cellobiose to sorbitol under hydrolytic hydrogenation [12][13][14][15][16]. A catalytic hydrolytic hydrogenation system for the conversion of cellulose or cellobiose to sorbitol normally requires two components: (i) soluble acid, such as phosphoric acid, or solid acid support, such as zeolite and acid-functionalized silica, for the catalytic hydrolysis of cellulose/cellobiose to glucose and (ii) noble transition metals, such as platinum, ruthenium, and palladium for the catalytic hydrogenation of glucose to sorbitol.…”

One-Pot Catalytic Conversion of Cellobiose to Sorbitol over Nickel Phosphides Supported on MCM-41 and Al-MCM-41

MCM-41- and Al-MCM-41-supported nickel phosphide nanomaterials were synthesized at two different initial molar ratios of Ni/P: 10:2 and 10:3 and were tested as heterogeneous catalysts for the one-pot conversion of cellobiose to sorbitol. The catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffractometer (XRD), N2 adsorption-desorption, scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM), 27Al-magnetic angle spinning-nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer (27Al MAS-NMR), temperature programmed desorption of ammonia (NH3-TPD), temperature-programmed reduction (H2-TPR), and inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrophotometer (ICP-OES). The characterization indicated that nickel phosphide nanoparticles were successfully incorporated into both supports without destroying their hexagonal framework structures, that the catalysts contained some or all of the following Ni-containing phases: Ni0, Ni3P, and Ni12P5, and that the types and relative amounts of Ni-containing phases present in each catalyst were largely determined by the initial molar ratio of Ni/P as well as the type of support used. For cellobiose conversion at 150 °C for 3 h under 4 MPa of H2, all catalysts showed similarly high conversion of cellobiose (89.5–95.0%). Nevertheless, sorbitol yield was highly correlated to the relative amount of phases with higher content of phosphorus present in the catalysts, giving the following order of catalytic performance of the Ni-containing phases: Ni12P5 > Ni3P > Ni. Increasing the reaction temperature from 150 °C to 180 °C also led to an improvement in sorbitol yield (from 43.5% to 87.8%).

“…The present article describes the use of sulfonated active carbons in the hydrolysis of cellobiose, which has been previously used as a model molecule to describe the behavior of cellulose under hydrolysis conditions (Zhou et al, 2011;Almeida et al, 2016). The influence of two parameters is discussed.…”

In this work the production of glucose via hydrolysis of cellobiose using sulfonated active carbons as catalysts was studied. Commercial carbons presenting different types of porous system (micropores and mesopores) have been treated with sulfuric acid at different temperatures, being characterized afterwards. Such carbons have been tested as catalysts in the reaction of cellobiose hydrolysis. The results indicated that the type and density of sulfonic sites are not the only parameters responsible for the activity of the catalysts. Indeed, the porosity of the catalysts also plays an important role in the determination of the catalyst activity.
