2,5-dimethylfuran (DMF), a promising biomass-derived fuel, is synthesized via the hydrodeoxygenation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF). This study focuses on the inherent activity of a 5Pt5Fe/C catalyst for HMF hydrodeoxygenation to DMF. The catalyst exhibited exceptional performance, achieving a remarkable DMF yield of 99.6 %. It displayed specific selectivity for C = O bond hydrogenation and C O bond cleavage in diverse substrates, producing high yield of 2-methylfuran from furfural and furfury alcohol, and high yield of toluene from benzaldehyde, benzyl alcohol. In-depth characterizations unveiled valuable insights into the 5Pt5Fe/C catalyst's properties, emphasizing a harmonious balance between metal and acid sites due to the interactive synergy between Pt and Fe species, enhancing hydrodeoxygenation activity. Additionally, the catalyst demonstrated satisfactory stability, maintaining a commendable DMF yield over five reaction cycles despite observed changes.

Directly converting lignite into arenes as commodity chemicals and drop-in fuels is a highly desirable target for researchers. However, this is severely limited by the presence of stable inter unit C-O linkages in lignite. Herein, a highly active catalyst, Co-MoS 2 , has been designed and prepared to be used for the selective catalytic cleavage of inter unit C-O bridged bonds (BBs) in the conversion of Naomaohu (NMH), a lignite, to yield arenes. Both catalytic hydrogenation conversion (CHC) and thermal dissolution (a non-catalytic process, named NCHC) of NMH were conducted using n-hexane as the solvent. The soluble fractions from the first stage of NCHC (SF NCHC-1 ) and CHC (SF CHC-1 ), as well as the second stage of NCHC (SF NCHC-2 ) and CHC (SF CHC-2 ) were obtained using the same solvent. After the first-stage catalytic treatment, the relative contents of arenes and alkanes in SF CHC-1 increased by 16.7 % and 9.3 %, respectively, compared to those in SF NCHC-1 , and the relative content of oxygen-containing compounds (OCCs), such as alcohols, phenols , esters, ketones , acids, and furans, decreased by 13.2 %. For the second-stage conversion, the relative contents of arenes and alkanes in SF CHC-2 were 53.5 % and 15.5 % higher than those in SF NCHC-2 , and the relative contents of OCCs was only 6.6 % in SF CHC-2 . The catalytic mechanisms of cleavage of C-O BBs and deoxygenation were proposed based on the CHC of model compounds and density functional theory (DFT) calculation. The adsorption of OCCs and the activation of released hydrogen radical (H·) by Co-MoS 2 , followed by H· addition to the carbon atom connected to oxygen in C-O BBs and oxygen-containing functional groups, are crucial for the cleavage of C-O BBs and formation of deoxygenated compounds, particularly arenes.

Efficient depolymerization of C–O linkages is essential for converting lignin into fuels and higher value-added chemicals. In this work, CoRuP/SiO2, an amorphous Ru-Co phosphide composite, was fabricated for the efficient hydrogenolysis of ether linkages. The 4–O–5 andα–O–4 linkages containing lignin-related compounds, such as diphenyl ether, benzyl phenyl ether, 3-methyl diphenyl ether, and dibenzyl ether, are selected as representatives of linkages in lignin. Under mild conditions, Ru-containing metallic phosphides have high-performance for the catalytic depolymerization of C–O linkages. Compared with other catalysts, CoRuP/SiO2shows an outstanding selectivity for benzene and excellent efficiency in depolymerizing diphenyl ethers, yielding only a small amount of by-products. Furthermore, the total acidity shows a linear relationship with the hydrogenolysis reactivity in cleaving aromatic ether bonds. The mechanisms for the catalytic hydrogenolysis of 4–O–5 andα–O–4 bonds over CoRuP/SiO2are proposed. Moreover, two-dimensional heteronuclear single quantum coherence nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopic analysis demonstrates that CoRuP/SiO2could effectively depolymerize C–O bonds of lignin. These dominant hydrogenolysis products from lignin have excellent potential in the production of high value-added drugs or pharmaceutical intermediates. The hydrogenolysis of lignin can be a highly efficient alternative to the existing method of lignin utilization.Keywords:hydrogenolysis;C–O linkages;metallic phosphides;reaction pathway

Lignin, a renewable resource rich in aromatic ring structures in nature, is an ideal natural source to produce aromatic compounds and cycloparaffin. Herein, we prepare MOF-derived Ni–MoxC/C and Co–MoxC/C as catalysts for the depolymerization of lignin and dimeric model compounds. Diphenyl ether (DPE) with 4-O-5 bond, benzyl phenyl ether (BPE) with α-O-4, and phenethyl phenyl ether (PPE) with β-O-4 are chosen as dimeric model compounds. Overall, Ni–MoxC/C and Co–MoxC/C show distinguished different activity toward product distribution. Ni–MoxC/C facilitates both C–O bond cleavage and hydrogenation of the benzene ring, and the main products are ethyl cyclohexane and cyclohexanol for all three model compounds. In contrast, Co–MoxC/C only facilitates C–O bond cleavage and obtains phenol and ethylbenzene as products. Similarly, for the depolymerization of lignin, cycloparaffins are obtained on Ni–MoxC/C, while phenol, guaiacol, 2,6-dimethoxyphenol, and their respective derivatives are obtained on Co–MoxC/C.

Hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) is one of the promising catalytic routes for converting biomass derived molecules to high value products. A key step of HDO is the cleavage of an aromatic C–O bond to accomplish the deoxygenation step, however, which is energetically unfavorable. Herein, we report a series of palladium (Pd)-incorporated α-phase of molybdenum carbide (α-MoC) mesoporous composites for enhanced HDO activity of a biomass model molecule, anisole. The catalysts, x%Pd/α-MoC (x% is the molar ratio of Pd/Mo), were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), temperature programmed reduction (TPR), temperature programmed desorption (TPD), Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET), Raman, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) techniques. Pd is highly dispersed on α-MoC when x% ≤ 1%, but aggregate to form nanoparticles when x% = 5%. The x%Pd/α-MoC catalysts (x% ≤ 1%) show enhanced HDO activity in terms of turnover frequency (TOF) and apparent activation energy barrier (Ea) compared with α-MoC and β-Mo2C catalysts. The TOF of 1%Pd/α-MoC catalyst at 160 °C is 0.115 h−1and the Ea is 48.2 kJ/mol. Moreover, the direct cleavage of aromatic C–O bond is preferred on 1%Pd/α-MoC catalyst. The enhanced HDO activity is attributed to superior H2dissociation ability by the highly dispersed Pd sites on carbide. This work brings new insights for rational design of the catalyst for selective C–O bond activation.Keywords:hydrodeoxygenation;carbide;palladium;anisole;biomass;C–O bond cleavage

In the hydrogenation of polyfunctional compounds, achieving high selectivity for specific functional groups remains challenging. Herein we report that SiC quantum dots (QDs) can selectively adsorb C = O in cinnamaldehyde, significantly increasing the activity and selectivity of Pt/SiC for hydrogenating cinnamaldehyde to cinnamyl alcohol. A 10 wt% QDs-modified Pt/SiC catalyst showed a turnover frequency 3.5 times higher than Pt/SiC under mild conditions. Further studies reveal that the defect-rich surface of SiC QDs facilitates the adsorption of C = O bond in cinnamaldehyde and enhances the spillover of active hydrogen from Pt to SiC QDs. During the catalysis process, Pt is responsible for the generation of reactive hydrogen species while the QDs undertake the activation of C = O bond, and the hydrogen species react with cinnamaldehyde via spillover. This work demonstrates the promise of SiC QDs in heterogeneous catalysis and provides a reference for designing novel hydrogenation catalysts.

Hydrogenolysis via targeted depolymerization of C–O linkages is a techno-economic beneficial process for converting lignin into highly valuable chemicals and clean fuels. In this work, a macroporous silicalite-1 (S-1) array-supported Ru-Ni metallic phosphide composite (Ru-Ni12P5/S-15) was prepared as a catalyst and hydrogenolysis activity under relative mild conditions was investigated using a series of compounds containing ether linkages as lignin-related model compounds. The Lewis acid sites originating from the unreduced Ru species and the macroporous geometry of S-1 significantly influenced hydrogenolysis activity and product selectivity. Analysis of the mechanism demonstrated that both the aryl ether and aliphatic ether linkages were directly hydrogenated over Ru-Ni12P5/S-15. 2D-HSQC-NMR spectroscopy demonstrated that the ether linkages of lignin were efficiently cleaved by Ru-Ni12P5/S-15. Furthermore, the obtained liquid hydrogenolysis products are high value-added chemicals used for pharmaceutical production and can be facilely tuned via the reaction conditions.

The lignin-first strategy is a crucial approach for highly efficient depolymerization of lignin to produce aromatic monomers as the condensation of lignin occurred during the separating process which increased the difficulty in depolymerization. In this work, a cobalt atom clusters supported on nitrogen-doped carbon catalysts (Co/NC-15) was prepared by adjusting the dosage of melamine to control the morphology, structure, and pyridinic nitrogen content of the catalysts. DFT calculations based on lignin model showed that the doping of nitrogen increased the adsorption energy of the lignin on the supports and decreased the dissociation energy of C-O bonds. Under lignin first strategy, Co/NC-15 exhibited good ability to break C-O bonds at 220 °C of mild condition, in which 84.32 wt% of lignin in lignocellulosic biomass was converted into 40.62 wt% of aromatic monomers, while 84.02 wt% of cellulose was preserved. The atom clusters Co/NC-15 exhibited good catalytic activity to lignin depolymerization due to efficient cleavage of C-O bonds, and hence showed the promising prospect in potential industrial application.

Lignin has recently attracted much attention as a promising resource to produce fuels and aromatic chemicals. The selective cleavage of C O bond while preserving the aromatic nature has become one of the major challenges in the catalytic valorization of lignin to aromatic chemicals. In this work, we report that the selective reductive cleavage of C O bond in lignin model compounds can be successfully achieved through heterogeneous iron catalysis. The hydrogenolysis of α-O-4 model linkage shows that the iron catalyst prepared by the simultaneous pyrolysis of iron acetate and 1,10-phenanthroline on activated carbon at 800 °C is the most active iron catalyst, affording phenol and toluene with yields of 95% and 90%, respectively. This aromatics selectivity is found to be much higher than that obtained over noble metal catalysts. The presence of N⋯Fe species as the active center of heterogeneous iron catalyst was confirmed by various technologies especially XPS and H 2 -TPR. For the β-O-4 model linkage, the vicinal OH group was essential for the iron-catalyzed hydrogenolysis of ether linkage. The oxidation of the α-carbon in the β-O-4 model compounds can significantly decrease the bond dissociation energy of ether linkage, giving depolymerization products in moderate to excellent yields.
