“…The introduction into these supports and the modification of different metal particles, which leads to a rich biomass conversion chemistry, are thus being studied. Furthermore, carbon/nitrogen materials are easily applicable to biomass production for a combination of an efficient Mott-Schotty effect and diversity of metal sites [244]. Not only carbonaceous materials are interesting for such applications, also dichalcogenides are already exploited (especially MoS 2 ) for example in the desulphurization reaction; however, the cases in which these materials are employed for biomass conversion are much fewer.…”

Heterogeneous catalysts are progressively expanding their field of application, from high-throughput reactions for traditional industrial chemistry with production volumes reaching millions of tons per year, a sector in which they are key players, to more niche applications for the production of fine chemicals. These novel applications require a progressive utilization reduction of fossil feedstocks, in favor of renewable ones. Biomasses are the most accessible source of organic precursors, having as advantage their low cost and even distribution across the globe. Unfortunately, they are intrinsically inhomogeneous in nature and their efficient exploitation requires novel catalysts. In this process, an accurate design of the active phase performing the reaction is important; nevertheless, we are often neglecting the importance of the support in guaranteeing stable performances and improving catalytic activity. This review has the goal of gathering and highlighting the cases in which the supports (either derived or not from biomass wastes) share the worth of performing the catalysis with the active phase, for those reactions involving the synthesis of fine chemicals starting from biomasses as feedstocks.
