Recent advances in the conversion of lignocellulosic biomass and its degraded products to levulinic acid: A synergy of Brønsted-Lowry acid and Lewis acid

Optimizing CO2 Hydrogenation to DME through Tailored Interfacial Interactions: Weakening Synergy in CuZnZr and Al-Modified SBA-15 Catalysts

“…Umapathi et al significantly improved the OER performance by synergistic coupling between N-doped reduced graphene oxide and FeNi 2 Se 4 nanoparticles. Azlan proposed that the synergistic interaction of Bronsted and Lewis acids produced a synergistic catalytic reaction, thereby increasing the efficiency of lignin conversion. Yang et al promoted the synergistic effect between Zn 0.76 Co 0.24 S and Co 9 S 8 by preparing hollow Zn 0.76 Co 0.24 S–Co 9 S 8 , thereby enhancing the ORR and OER electrocatalytic performances.…”

Biomass derived Cu2O nanoparticles for N-atom insertion reactions: a base-free synthesis of quinazolinones with a green approach

“…One of the most efficient ways to deal with the depletion of fossil fuel resources and the escalating environmental pollution is through a highly efficient approach that involves the sensible investigation and utilization of sustainable and renewable biomass resources. [1][2][3] The various fields of chemistry require a variety of more environmentally benign methods that obey all the principles of green chemistry in order to attain sustainability. 4,5 In this line, nano-catalysis plays an important role in value added catalytic processes such as easy product separation, high purity, safe catalysis, and minimum chemical waste.…”

Conversion of biomass-derived sugars to 1,1,2-trialkoxyethane via a [2 + 4] retro-aldol reaction over alkaline and alkaline earth metal salts of phosphotungstic acid

“…For confronting the diminishing fossil fuel resources and the increasingly serious environmental pollution, one of the most effective solutions is to rationally explore and exploit renewable and sustainable biomass resources. [1][2][3] Glucose can be readily produced by hydrolysis of cellulose, hemicellulose, starch, and other carbohydrates because all of these polymers are composed of glucose units. A great many value-added chemicals have been synthesized such as succinic acid, 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid, 3-hydroxypropionic acid, lactic acid, gluconic acid, levulinic acid, 3-hydroxybutylactone, glycerol, sorbitol, and so on.…”
