The role of limonene in the branching of straight chains in low-octane hydrocarbons

Beneficial Synergistic Intermetallic Effect in ZnCo2O4 for Enhancing the Limonene Oxidation Catalysis

“…Limonene, as a renewable terpene, can be widely found in citrus fruit peel. , The epoxidation catalysis holds great promise for converting limonene into high value-added chemicals because the epoxides including LO and limonene diepoxide can serve as biosourced monomers in combination with CO 2 for producing green polycarbonates. , This represents a rising research direction in the polymer industry toward substituting fossil-fuel-based polymers with sustainable bio-based analogues from natural biomass. In pursuit of an application goal, high-performance catalysts with appealing activity and selectivity are of vital significance for the epoxidation of limonene.…”
