Rational highly dispersed ruthenium for reductive catalytic fractionation of lignocellulose

Zhenzhen Liu et al.

Summary: Producing monomeric phenols from lignin biopolymer depolymerization in a detachable and efficient manner has attracted significant attention for the fullest utilization of sustainable lignocellulosic biomass. In this study, a low-loaded and highly dispersed Ru anchored on a chitosan-derived N-doped carbon catalyst (RuN/ZnO/C) is reported. This catalyst exhibits outstanding performance in the reductive catalytic fractionation of lignocellulose, achieving nearly theoretical maximum yields of phenolic monomers from lignin. The selectivity towards propyl end-chained guaiacol and syringol allows for easy purification, and the process leaves high retention of (hemi)cellulose for enzymatic hydrolysis. The good stability and transformation of Ru species contribute to the effectiveness of the catalyst. Time-course experiments and reactivity screening shed light on the mechanism. Overall, this work opens up new possibilities for the valorization of lignin and the economic feasibility of lignocellulosic biomass.

Zhihao Yu et al.

Summary: Metal-loaded hollow carbon nanostructures (MHC nanoreactors) exhibit competitive potentials in heterogeneous catalysis due to their tailorable microenvironment effects, with the void-confinement effect being one of the most fundamental functions. The void-confinement effect of the selected MHC nanoreactors is essentially driven by an integrating action of electronic metal-support interaction, reactant enrichment and diffusion, showcasing the unique properties of hollow nanoreactors in electronic and structural aspects. This work offers insights into the catalytic behavior of MHC nanoreactors and potential strategies for microenvironment engineering of hollow nanostructures.
