“…HMF and LA are regarded as top value-added chemicals obtained from carbohydrates;t hey are considered as "platform chemicals" for the synthesis of various polymers, pharmaceuticals, solvents, and fuels. [5,10,11] FDCA and FDME are used as monomers for polyethylene furanoate( PEF) and polypropylene furanoate (PPF)-bio-based polyesters that are planned to replace petro-based polyethylene terephthalate. [9] Last year,s everali ndustrial companies announced the building of plants for the production of HMF and its important derivatives-furan-2,5-dicarboxylic acid( FDCA) and dimethyl furan-2,5-dicarboxylate (FDME).…”

Biomass processing wastes (humins) are anticipated to become a large-tonnage solid waste in the near future, owing to the accelerated development of renewable technologies based on utilization of carbohydrates. In this work, the utility of humins as a feedstock for the production of activated carbon by various methods (pyrolysis, physical and chemical activation, or combined approaches) was evaluated. The obtained activated carbons were tested as potential electrode materials for supercapacitor applications and demonstrated combined micro- and mesoporous structures with a good capacitance of 370 F g (at a current density of 0.5 A g ) and good cycling stability with a capacitance retention of 92 % after 10 000 charge/discharge cycles (at 10 A g in 6 m aqueous KOH electrolyte). The applicability of the developed activated carbon for practical usage as a supercapacitor electrode material was demonstrated by its successful utilization in symmetric two-electrode cells and by powering electric devices. These findings provide a new approach to deal with the problem of sustainable wastes utilization and to advance challenging energy storage applications.

Polymers Based on Cyclic Carbonates as Trait d'Union Between Polymer Chemistry and Sustainable CO₂ Utilization

Given the large amount of anthropogenic CO2 emissions, it is advantageous to use CO2 as feedstock for the fabrication of everyday products, such as fuels and materials. An attractive way to use CO2 in the synthesis of polymers is by the formation of five‐membered cyclic organic carbonate monomers (5CCs). The sustainability of this synthetic approach is increased by using scaffolds prepared from renewable resources. Indeed, recent years have seen the rise of various types of carbonate syntheses and applications. 5CC monomers are often polymerized with diamines to yield polyhydroxyurethanes (PHU). Foams are developed from this type of polymers; moreover, the additional hydroxyl groups in PHU, absent in classical polyurethanes, lead to coatings with excellent adhesive properties. Furthermore, carbonate groups in polymers offer the possibility of post‐functionalization, such as curing reactions under mild conditions. Finally, the polarity of carbonate groups is remarkably high, so polymers with carbonates side‐chains can be used as polymer electrolytes in batteries or as conductive membranes. The target of this Review is to highlight the multiple opportunities offered by polymers prepared from and/or containing 5CCs. Firstly, the preparation of several classes of 5CCs is discussed with special focus on the sustainability of the synthetic routes. Thereafter, specific classes of polymers are discussed for which the use and/or presence of carbonate moieties is crucial to impart the targeted properties (foams, adhesives, polymers for energy applications, and other functional materials).

“…In addition to the oxidation of alcohols, AldO from S. coelicolor, can catalyse the oxidation of thiol groups (133). For example, L-dithiothreitol, which is identical to the sugar alcohol Lthreitol except for the presence of thiol groups instead of hydroxyl groups at the terminal carbon atoms, is oxidised to the corresponding thioaldehyde, which subsequently cyclises to a dithiohemiacetal (Scheme 10B).…”

“…Various other racemic secondary aromatic alcohols were also succesfully resolved in this manner. One of these variants was also used in combination with an aldehyde oxidase to achieve the conversion of 5-(hydroxymethyl)furfural to 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (132,133).…”
