Summary: N-doped carbon-supported Co-based dual-metal nanoparticles exhibit enhanced catalytic activity and selectivity for the oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) to 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA). Among them, Co-Cu-1.4-CNx shows 4 times higher FDCA formation rate than pristine Co-CN, with 100% FDCA selectivity. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal that the increased electron density on Co sites induced by Cu reduces the energy barriers for HMF conversion to FDCA. These findings contribute to the development of superior non-precious metal catalysts for HMF oxidation.

Summary: This study presents the development of a simple synthesis method for preparing bimetallic AuPd alloy catalysts for selective oxidation of 5-HMF to FDCA. Under strong base conditions, the cooperation of Pd and Au promotes FDCA formation but also leads to the formation of undesired by-products. Under weak base conditions, increasing the Au loading enhances FDCA productivity and mass balances.

Summary: In this work, Ag or Au monometallic nanoparticles and bimetallic Au-Ag nanoparticles supported on TiO2 were prepared. The incorporation of Au NPs into Ag NPs could tune their d-band centers to upshift toward the Fermi Level.

Summary: The development of gold nanoparticles (Au NPs)-based catalysts is crucial for various catalytic applications due to their excellent activity. However, sintering of Au NPs at high temperatures often leads to aggregation and decreased active surface area, hindering catalytic performance. To address this issue, small-scale and highly dispersed gold nanoparticles supported on oxide surfaces are designed using cyclodextrin as a stabilizer. These ultra-small gold nanoparticles exhibit superior catalytic performance in HMF oxidation to FDCA, highlighting their potential as heterogeneous catalysts for biorefinery applications.

Summary: Biomass upgrading driven by solar energy in a photoelectrochemical (PEC) cell offers an energy-saving and cost-effective alternative route to yield value-added products. We report efficient solar-driven TEMPO mediated HMF oxidation over NiFe-LDH/BiVO4 photoanodes, demonstrating boosted catalytic efficiency and utility of PEC cells. The effect of TEMPO is carefully investigated and it suggests that TEMPO-mediated PEC oxidation of HMF is thermodynamically and kinetically favorable in contrast to water oxidation.

Summary: Ulva rigida, a green macroalga, is considered a promising feedstock for biorefinary due to its fast growth and widespread distribution. The cell walls of U. rigida contain a sulfated glucuronorhamnan polysaccharide called ulvan, which, due to its high sulfate content, can be efficiently recovered as rhamnose through hydrothermal autohydrolysis at 130 degrees C. Under different catalytic conditions, including triflate-based graphene oxide, significant amounts of tartaric acid and succinic acid can also be obtained. The catalyst shows good reusability, maintaining its activity for at least five consecutive cycles.

Summary: Niobia-based magnetic nanocomposites were prepared by covering magnetite nanoparticles cores with Nb2O5 or Nb2O5-SiO2 shells in a two-step procedure. The catalytic performances were closely related to the nature of the supported niobia phases, influenced by the niobia content and preparation route. The high selectivity to HMF was linked to the large pseudohexagonal niobium oxide phase, while the catalytic activity was associated with small nanoparticle size.

Summary: The oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) to 5-hydroxymethyl-2-furancarboxylic acid (HMFCA) has been studied using MOx@Nb-zeolite catalytic systems. The catalysts have hierarchical texture and acid-base properties, and were characterized using various techniques. A synergistic effect between MOx and Nb species was identified, which facilitated the activation of t-BuOOH and the oxidation of HMF. The absence of FDCA in the reaction products can be attributed to the presence of acidic sites that prevent further oxidation of HMFCA.

Summary: Considerable efforts have been made in recent years to identify an optimal treatment method for the removal of antibiotics from wastewaters. A series of supramolecular organic-inorganic magnetic composites containing Zn-modified MgAl LDHs and Cu-phthalocyanine as photosensitizers were prepared with the aim of removing beta-lactam antibiotics from aqueous solutions. The removal of the beta-lactam antibiotics occurred via concerted adsorption and photocatalytic degradation, with a maximum efficiency of approximately 93% achieved after 2 hours of reaction.
