“…BHMF is currently obtained by the hydrogenation of HMF at high pressures (8–65 bar) of H 2 in the presence of heterogeneous catalysts, including Au/Al 2 O 3 , Pt/MCM‐41, Ir/TiO 2 , Ir/SiO 2 , and Ir−ReO x /SiO 2 . However, H 2 is a high‐cost hydrogen donor, and conventional HMF hydrogenation systems mostly suffer from low utilization ratios of H 2 . Recent advances in electrocatalytic reactions have made it possible for the hydrogenation of HMF to BHMF at ambient temperature and pressure using water instead of H 2 as a hydrogen source .…”

The hydrogenation of 5‐hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), an important bio‐based platform chemical, to 2,5‐bis(hydroxymethyl)furan (BHMF), a promising building block for polymers, is conventionally conducted at high pressures of H2 in the presence of heterogeneous catalysts. Recently, electrochemical hydrogenation has emerged as a promising process for BHMF production; however, one challenge of this process is to improve the catalytic activity of the electrocatalyst. In this study, a series of AgCu electrocatalysts was prepared by galvanic displacement of Ag on nanotextured Cu particles. A comprehensive characterization of the catalysts was carried out and the effects of electrolysis potential, reaction time, and HMF concentration were investigated. The concentration of AgNO3 solution in which Cu was displaced was found to be a key factor to control the catalyst surface morphology, and the optimal catalyst was shown to have high catalytic activity and excellent stability for the electrochemical hydrogenation of HMF to BHMF.

“…Catalytic conversion of renewable biomass resource to bio‐fuels and bio‐chemicals has attracted increasing global attention . The oxidation and oxidative esterification are involved in the most important processes for production of biomass‐based products, including aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, and esters, etc . The typical functional groups conversions are the oxidation of ‐C‐OH to ‐COOH and oxidative esterification of ‐HC=O to ‐COOR in platforms, such as 5‐hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) or furfural (FF) .…”

It is an attractive and challenging topic to endow non‐noble metal catalysts with high efficiency via a nitrogen‐doping approach. In this study, a nitrogen‐doped carbon catalyst with high nitrogen content encapsulating cobalt NPs (CoOx@N‐C(g)) was synthesized, and characterized in detail by XRD, HRTEM, N2‐physisorption, ICP, CO2‐TPD, and XPS techniques. g‐C3N4 nanosheets act as nitrogen source and self‐sacrificing templates, giving rise to an ultrahigh nitrogen content of 14.0 %, much higher than those using bulk g‐C3N4 (4.4 %) via the same synthesis procedures. As a result, CoOx@N‐C(g) exhibited the highest performance in the oxidative esterification of biomass‐derived platform furfural to methylfuroate under base‐free conditions, achieving 95.0 % conversion and 97.1 % selectivity toward methylfuroate under 0.5 MPa O2 at 100 °C for 6 h, far exceeding those of other cobalt‐based catalysts. The high efficiency of CoOx@N‐C(g) was closely related to its high ratio of pyridinic nitrogen species that may act as Lewis basic sites as well as its capacity for the activation of dioxygen to superoxide radical O2.−.

“…Moreover, biomass‐derived 2,5‐dimethylfuran (DMF) and 5‐hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) have gained, as well, increased attention in the past years due to their potential for the preparation of valuable chemicals (Figure B–D) ,. Among the wide range of examples that can be given, it is worth to mention the synthesis of p‐Xylene (PX), which is an important commodity compound in the petrochemical industry and is employed as comonomer, together with monoethylene glycol (MEG) for the preparation of polyethylene terephthalate (PET).…”

Environmental catalysis plays a crucial role in sustainable development by the design of novel catalytic materials and technologies. Several environmental issues are addressed by catalytic processes such as decomposition of pollutants for air, water and soil remediation, hydrogen production, CO2 reduction and biomass valorization, just to name a few. This contribution aims to provide a general overview of the main concepts and current advances in the environmental catalysis field. Special attention has been paid to photocatalysis and electrocatalysis, as sub‐areas of catalysis with tremendous potential in sustainable applications, in particular with regard to the promotion of sustainable energies. In this contribution, the partnership between Catalysis and Green Chemistry is presented, in a comprehensive way, as an open research line which is imperative and decisive for a more sustainable future.
