Rational Design of Advanced Functional Catalysts for Photo-Reforming Glucose into Bio-Derived Fuels and Chemicals.

ABSTRACT: Transforming renewable biomass resources into high-value chemicals and energy-dense fuels has become paramount for advancing sustainable economic development toward a carbon-neutral society. Glucose, a key platform molecule for biomass, has attracted considerable research attention for its promise as a feedstock for the production of various biochemicals and biofuels. To achieve glucose conversion with enhanced selectivity and efficiency, it is critical to develop high-performance heterogeneous photocatalysts and fine-tune cascade catalytic processes. This review provides a systematic overview of recent progress in design of advanced functional catalysts for photo-reforming glucose into bio-derived fuels and a variety of bio-based molecules, with an emphasis on design and applications of f
