MOFs Derived Catalysts Prepared by Pyrolysis for Hydrogenation of Bio‐Based Furfural: A Mini‐Review

Abstract

Metal organic framework (MOF) derived catalysts have been widely used in biomass platform compounds (BPC) hydrogenation field. This mini-review selectively introduces the research progress of MOFs derived catalysts in the upgrading of BPC. Particularly, MOFs derived catalysts prepared by pyrolysis and their catalytic applications for furfural and 5hydroxymethylfurfural are summarized in this mini-review. In addition, the factors affecting the performance of MOFs derived catalysts prepared by pyrolysis are discussed briefly and then the potential improvement studies on MOFs derived catalysts prepared by pyrolysis for upgrading of BPC are also put forward. We deem that this mini-review will provide valuable insights into the design and application of MOFs derived catalysts prepared by pyrolysis for upgrading of BPC to biobased chemicals.

Recent advances in metal–organic framework based heterogeneous catalysts for furfural hydrogenation reactions

“…Although encouraging summaries of the conversion of FFR to high-value-added chemicals are available, MOF-based catalysts lack detailed presentation and summarization. 5,[32][33][34] Herein, recent applications of MOF-based heterogeneous catalysts for the hydrogenation of FFR are summarized from the perspectives of the preparation FFA, THFA, 2-MF/2-MTHF and CPO/CPA (Fig. 2).…”

Carbon-efficient conversion of natural gas and natural-gas condensates to chemical products and intermediate feedstocks via catalytic metal–organic framework (MOF) chemistry

“…Under static N 2 or N 2 /NH 3 atmosphere, at temperatures around 550 1C or higher, MOFs pyrolyze to yield new materials resembling high-surfacearea graphite, often with metal atoms from MOF nodes embedded as reactant-accessible, single-metal-ions that are competent for heterogeneous catalysis or electrocatalysis. [55][56][57] These interesting materials are outside the scope of the review. Returning to the issue of thermal stability, we can conclude that MOFs are best viewed as complementary to zeolites, highsurface-area metal-oxide powders, and related materials, as catalysts or catalyst supports, as MOFs are ill-suited for reactions at temperatures more than a few hundred degrees above room temperature.…”

Direct and transfer hydrogenation of furfural over MOF‐derived Pd‐Cu@C catalysts

“…Specifically, by selecting appropriate templates and pyrolysis/reducing conditions of MOF, we can convert metal ions into metal nanoparticles, and during hightemperature carbonization, can coat the organic ligandsconverted carbon substances onto the surface of metallic nanoparticles, preventing aggregation and making nanoparticles more evenly and stably dispersed in the porous carbon matrix. [19][20][21][22] Therefore, it is an inspiring and effective method to prepare uniform metal-loading porous carbon.…”
