A review on photo-, electro- and photoelectro- catalytic strategies for selective oxidation of alcohols

Duoyue Tang et al.

Summary: Traditional conversion of alcohols into carbonyl compounds has drawbacks including harsh reaction conditions, generation of hazardous wastes, and low selectivity. The emerging photo-, electro-, and photoelectro-catalytic conversion approaches offer a promising alternative by enabling selective oxidation of alcohols into valuable carbonyl compounds and simultaneous production of clean hydrogen (H2) under mild conditions. This review discusses the state-of-the-art strategies for selective oxidation of different types of alcohols and the design of catalysts, as well as current challenges and future research directions.

Photothermal technique-enabled ambient production of microalgae biodiesel: Mechanism and life cycle assessment

Jinshu Huang et al.

Summary: A light-induced photothermal process using a biomass-based catalyst was demonstrated to efficiently produce biodiesel from microalgae lipids at room temperature with a high yield of 96.8%. The process involved interfacial solar heating, which created a local photothermal catalytic system leading to evaporation and removal of water and facilitating the forward reaction. The photothermal catalyst showed higher conversion rate compared to the industrially used catalyst H2SO4 and had energy-saving and environmental advantages.

Surface-active site engineering: Synergy of photo- and supermolecular catalysis in hydrogen transfer enables biomass upgrading and H2 evolution

Ye Meng et al.

Summary: The appropriate regulation of photocatalyst band structure by introducing active sites is an effective strategy for constructing efficient photocatalytic systems for biomass valorization. In this study, a renewed host-guest photocatalyst (Ov-WO3@CB[5]) was prepared by anchoring cucurbit[5]uril on oxygen vacancy-rich WO3. It demonstrated efficient reductive upgrading of biomass derivatives and quantitative production of bio-alcohols or arylamines. The inclusion of cucurbit[5]uril adjusted the semiconductor band structure, enhanced carrier migration efficiency, and facilitated the entrance of NH3-BH3, as supported by theoretical calculations.
