Constructing Co@N-doped graphene shell catalyst via Mott-Schottky effect for selective hydrogenation of 5-hydroxylmethylfurfural

Dual Metal–Acid Pd-Br Catalyst for Selective Hydrodeoxygenation of 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) to 2,5-Dimethylfuran at Ambient Temperature

“…Bifunctional metal-acid catalysts containing both metal and acid sites have been developed and widely applied for numerous important processes including conversion of biomass-derived platform molecules [6][7][8][9] . 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), which is produced from the abundant lignocellulosic biomass, has attracted intensive attention because of its conversion to value-added chemicals such as 2,5-bis(hydroxymethyl)furan (BHMF), 2,5-bis(hydroxymethyl)tetrahydrofuran (DHMTHF) and 2,5-dimethylfuran (DMF) [10][11][12][13][14] . Among them, DMF has been proposed as a promising renewable transportation fuel due to its high boiling point, high energy density, high octane number and low water solubility [14] .…”

Engineering of Yolk/Core–Shell Structured Nanoreactors for Thermal Hydrogenations

“…A Co@N-doped graphene nanoreactor with obvious Mott-Schottky effect was reported for improving hydrogenation of 5-hydroxylmethylfurfural to 2,5-dimethylfuran. [122] These studies show that through precise structural control, the achieved morphology is capable for solving the challenges faced in this field. [123] A tandem reaction, combining the aldol condensation reaction and hydrogenation reaction, was designed to demonstrate the different reaction routes under the various different catalyst architectures (Figure 17).…”

2,5-Furandicarboxylic acid production via catalytic oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural: Catalysts, processes and reaction mechanism

“…On account of such catalytic activities, the energy-saving coupling configuration was also visually demonstrated by using a commercial 1.5 V battery as a driven force, unambiguously verifying the concept of energy barrier reduction by substitution OER with HMF oxidation. Except for the substitution of OER by HMF oxidation on the anode, the cathodic HER in the coupling system can also be replaced by hydrogenation [155][156][157][158] of HMF or other organic molecules, arising a new route to the paired electrosynthesis by using water as an oxygen and hydrogen source. For instance, Wang and co-workers [142] recently succeeded in simultaneous electrocatalytic oxidation (ECO) and electrocatalytic hydrogenation (ECH) of HMF into FDCA and 2,5-bishydroxymethyl-tetrahydrofuran (DHMTHF), respectively, by using a membrane electrode assembly electrolyzer.…”
