Опубликована: Фев. 24, 2025

Abstract Laborious first‐principles calculations and trial‐and‐error experimentation often fail to meet the demands of rational efficient catalyst development. This paper introduces an approach that integrates costly labeled data with process reaction mechanisms for formulation in high‐value conversion glycerol. We developed innovative system framework, POCOM, which simultaneously generates optimal superstructure operating conditions achieve peak rates desired product specifications. synergistically combined mechanisms, machine learning, optimization, generation techniques, encapsulating them into a cutting‐edge software specifically designed glycerol selective oxidation. In this process, we identified previously unreported Pt‐ZnO formulation. The catalyst, 1.8 wt% Pt 0.4 ZnO, demonstrated exceptional performance, achieving rate 88% glyceric acid selectivity 80%. study offers groundbreaking insights robust support design oxidation catalysts.

BULLETIN OF CHEMICAL REACTION ENGINEERING AND CATALYSIS, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 20(2), С. 193 - 220

Опубликована: Март 7, 2025

The increasing depletion of fossil fuel reserves and environmental concerns have accelerated the search for sustainable alternatives, leading to utilization biodiesel as a renewable energy source. Glycerol, key byproduct production, has been extensively investigated conversion into value-added compounds such lactic acid, acrylic 1,2-propanediol (1,2-PDO). Copper-based catalysts gained popularity due their low cost, high catalytic efficiency, friendliness. This review examines various copper-based systems glycerol through processes hydrogenolysis, oxidation, steam reforming, dehydration. work focuses on how Cu-based bimetallic catalysts, Cu-Ni, Cu-Co, Cu-Zn, improve reaction selectivity rates via synergistic interactions, better metal dispersion, optimized redox properties. Furthermore, new catalyst manufacturing methods, ammonia evaporation, hydrothermal, ion exchange approaches, shown improved stability reusability. findings show that successfully facilitate conversion, with selective pathways favouring generation 1,2-PDO, acid under optimal circumstances. However, deactivation caused by sintering coke formation remains concern. Future research should concentrate creating stable, multifunctional adding bio-derived support, improving conditions increase long-term efficiency industrial usability. emphasizes potential in promoting valorisation achieving more chemical industry.

Abstract Photosynthesis converts solar energy, carbon dioxide, and water into biomass, offering a renewable energy chemical source. Biomass photo(electro)refining (BPeR) emerges as sustainable alternative to petrochemicals for fuel production. However, BPeR faces challenges due photocatalyst limitations, necessitating the integration of cocatalysts. Cocatalysts significantly impact efficiency, selectivity, durability reactions, yet their roles require systematic elucidation understanding.
