Efficient Hydrodeoxygenation of Lignin-Derived Phenolic Compounds over Bifunctional Catalyst Comprising HPMoVO Coupled with Ni/C.

In the catalytic transformation of bio-oil into liquid fuels having alkanes via hydrodeoxygenation (HDO), the acid and metal sites in the catalyst are pivotal for promoting the HDO of lignin-derived phenolic compounds. This study introduces a novel bifunctional catalyst comprising phosphomolybdenum-vanadium heteropolyacids (HPMoVO) coupled with Ni/C. The HDO reaction of the model compound guaiacol was carried out under reaction conditions of 230 °C, revealing the superior performance of HPMoVO with Ni/C catalysts compared to the conventional acids, even at low dosage.

Methanol Steam Reforming for Hydrogen Production over Ni-Based Catalysts: State-Of-The-Art Review and Future Prospects.

With increasing global emphasis on environmental sustainability, the reliance on traditional energy sources such as coal, natural gas, and oil are encountering significant challenges. H, known for its high energy content and pollution-free usage, emerges as a promising alternative. However, despite the great potential of H, approximately 95 % of hydrogen production still depends on non-renewable resources.

Transforming Pharmaceutical Synthesis with Se-E-B Nanocomposite Photocatalyst through 1,4-NAD(P)H Cofactor Regeneration and C-N Bond Activation.

The need for sunlight chemical renewal and contemporary organic transformation has fostered the advancement of environmentally friendly photocatalytic techniques. For the first time, we report on the novel crafting of a bright future with selenium-infused Eosin-B (Se-E-B) nanocomposite photocatalysts in this work. The Se-E-B nanocomposite materials were created using a hydrothermal process for solar chemical regeneration and organic transformation under visible light.
