The efficient utilization of lignocellulosic biomass has tremendous potential to reduce the excessive dependence on fossil fuels. Here, we provide an overview on the recent achievements in the catalytic production of value-added chemicals and fuels. When targeting chemicals, a key objective is to maximize the product selectivity to favor the subsequent separation. This can be achieved through the design of catalysts and optimization of catalytic systems based on the deep understanding of the catalytic mechanism. For production of fuels, attention should be paid to the establishment of an energy-efficient process for high-quality fuels. This can be realized through the design of C-C coupling reactions and the development of multifunctional catalysts to minimize the reaction steps from lignocellulose to fuels. In addition, the full utilization of lignocellulose into biofuels and chemicals in a single process is separately introduced. Finally, several personal perspectives on the opportunities and challenges within this promising field are discussed.
