Bimetallic ordered mesoporous carbon from lignin for catalytic selective hydrogenation of levulinic acid to ?-valerolactone

Xiaoqi Wang et al.

Summary: A Ni/Ru bimetallic ordered mesoporous carbon (Ni/Ru@WOMC) was successfully prepared using solvent evaporation induced self-assembly (EISA) method. The resulting material exhibited excellent catalytic activity in the hydrogenation of levulinic acid (LA) to gamma-valerolactone (GVL). The Ni/Ru@WOMC catalyst could be reused multiple times without significant loss of its catalytic performance, which can be attributed to its ordered mesoporous structure. This development opens up new opportunities for the catalytic application of lignin derived functionalized ordered mesoporous carbon in biomass transformation reactions.

Zeolite-Encapsulated Cu Nanoparticles for the Selective Hydrogenation of Furfural to Furfuryl Alcohol

Peng Cao et al.

Summary: The study successfully prepared well-defined Cu nanoparticles encapsulated within titanium silicalite-1 (TS-1) by an in situ encapsulation approach, showing enhanced activity and selectivity for the selective hydrogenation of furfural to furfuryl alcohol. The Na-Cu@TS-1 catalyst exhibited high turnover frequency value and effective suppression of metal aggregation and leaching during catalysis due to the confined environment of the zeolite and electronic interaction between encapsulated Cu nanoparticles and Ti species. Na species in the catalyst not only modulate the acid/base property of the zeolite and suppress side reactions, but also facilitate the FFL hydrogenation by inducing an electronic-rich state in the encapsulated Cu species.
