Contributions of Oxide Support Reducibility for Selective Oxidation of 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural over Ag-Based Catalysts

Catalysts, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 15(3), P. 248 - 248

Published: March 5, 2025

As a type of sustainable and renewable natural source, biomass-derived 5-hydroxymethyl furfural (HMF) can be converted into high-value chemicals. This study investigated the interactions between silver (Ag) oxide supports with varied reducibility their contributions to tuning catalytic performance in selective oxidation HMF. Three representatives manganese dioxide (MnO2), zirconium (ZrO2), silicon (SiO2) were selected support Ag active sites. The catalysts characterized by techniques such as STEM (TEM), Raman, XPS, H2-TPR, FT-IR spectroscopy explore morphology, dispersion, surface properties, electronic states. results demonstrated that MnO2 highest exhibited superior performance, achieving 75.4% HMF conversion 41.6% selectivity for 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) at 120 °C. In contrast, ZrO2 SiO2 limited capabilities, mainly producing intermediate products like FFCA and/or HMFCA. ability these was governed reducibility, because it determined density oxygen vacancies (Ov) hydroxyl groups (OOH), eventually influenced activity, reaction rate: Ag/MnO2 (3214.5 molHMF·gAg−1·h−1), Ag/ZrO2 (2062.3 Ag/SiO2 (1394.4 molHMF·gAg−1·h−1). These findings provide valuable insights rational design high-performance chemical conversion.

The emerging role of biomass in complementing a renewable energy portfolio: A Review

BioResources, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 20(3)

Published: May 30, 2025

Plant materials throughout the world, i.e. biomass, can provide annually roughly 18 x 1015 Watt-hours (6.5 1013 MJ) of energy, considering just residues from agriculture and forestry. However, at least part that amount has higher-valued uses, including being made into durable products, thereby keeping their carbon content contributing to global warming. This review considers circumstances under which it may be advantageous use biomass resources, either alone or in combination with other renewable energy technologies – such as solar wind meet society’s needs, especially for electricity, heating, transportation. There is a rapidly expanding pool published research this area. To slow climate change, rapid maturation most promising needed, followed by widespread early implementation. Of particular interest are synergistic combinations technologies, together way hydrogen, electricity. Another need make high-energy-density liquid fuels, aviation diesel, naphtha. Although some proposed schemes complicated, expected gradually implemented growing component installed capacity coming years.
