Summary: In this study, succinic anhydride (SAN) was directly synthesized from bio-based furanic platform compounds using a visible light-induced oxygenation process. The photocatalyst m-tetraphenyl porphyrin (H2TPP) and molecular oxygen were employed as the catalyst and oxidant, respectively. The conversion of furoic acid (FAC) to SAN achieved a 99.9% conversion with 97.8% selectivity under optimal conditions. The selectivity of the product can be controlled by tuning the light intensity and time.

Summary: In order to effectively address the challenges of global warming, it is important to conduct extensive research on reducing CO2 emissions and finding alternatives to expensive and scarce fossil fuel resources. This study focuses on comparing different catalyst methodologies for CO2 hydrogenation and found that the addition of zeolites in core-shell structures can significantly improve the conversion of CO2 and selectivity of liquid hydrocarbons. However, the migration of Na from the oxide to the zeolite reduced the concentration of strong acid sites and thus affected the liquid hydrocarbon yield.
