Developing cost-effective, eco-friendly, efficient, stable, and unique catalytic systems remains a crucial issue in catalysis. Due to their superior physicochemical and electrochemical properties, exceptional structural characteristics, environmental friendliness, economic productivity, minimal energy demand, and abundant supply, a significant amount of research has been devoted to the development of various doped carbon materials as efficient catalysts. In addition, carbon-based materials (CBMs) with specified doping have lately become significant members of the carbon group, showing promise for a broad range of uses (e.g., catalysis, environmental remediation, critical chemical production, and energy conversion and storage). This study will, therefore, pay attention to the …

Photocatalytic Reforming Of Lignocellulose: A Review, Xinyuan Xu, Lei Shi, Shu Zhang, Zhimin Ao, Jinqiang Zhang, Shaobin Wang, Hongqi Sun

Research outputs 2022 to 2026

Biomass has been considered as a promising energy resource to combat the exhaustion of fossil fuels, as it is renewable, sustainable, and clean. Photocatalytic reforming is a novel technology to utilize solar energy for upgrading biomass in relatively mild conditions. This process efficiently reforms and recasts biomass into hydrogen and/or valuable chemicals. To date, lignocellulose, including cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin, has attracted extensive studies in facile photocatalytic valorisation. This review summarizes and analyzes the most recent research advances on photoreforming of lignocellulose to provide insights for future research, with a particular emphasis on the reformation of lignin because of its …
