Oxygen-vacancy-rich MnO_(x)supported RuO_(x)for efficient base-free oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural and 5-methoxymethylfurfural to 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid

2,5-Furandicarboxylic acid(FDCA)is a promising biomass-derived polymeric monomer that serves as an attractive alternative to terephthalic acid derived from fossil resources.However,the green and efficient production of FDCA through the oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural(HMF)and its derivatives is still rudimentary under base-free conditions.In this work,oxygen-vacancy-rich Mn Oxwas prepared and displayed a strong adsorption and anchoring ability to Ru species that mainly exposed the(210)plane of RuO_(2),bringing about highly dispersed and active interfacial Ru-O-Mn structures.Experimental results and density functional theory calculations confirm that these above features greatly facilitate the adsorption/activation of oxygen and the dehydrogenation-oxidation of HMF/5-methoxymethylfurfural(MMF),which enables an efficient FDCA production under base-free and mild conditions.Notably,a desirable FDCA yield of 86.56%was still obtained from concentrated HMF(10 wt%)under base-free conditions over oxygen-vacancy-rich Mn Oxsupported Ru Ox(1.0 MPaO_(2),120℃,6 h).This work delineates a facile catalyst preparation strategy for HMF/MMF oxidation,and might open a new avenue for the green synthesis of FDCA under base-free conditions.

Uncovering the electrooxidation behavior of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural on Ni/Co electrodes

Biomass,derived from plant photosynthesis that captures carbon dioxide to form carbohydrates,offers vast renewable reserves.The electrooxidation of biomass,coupled with the hydrogen evolution reaction,enables the simultaneous production of biomass-based plastic monomers and green hydrogen,attracting significant scholarly interest.However,ambiguity remains regarding the adsorption mechanism at the catalyst surface(Langmuir-Hinshelwood or Eley-Rideal)and the adsorbed substrate groups.To address this,we prepared a Ni/Co electrode for the electrooxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural(HMF)into 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid(FDCA)through a corrosion reaction and electro-reduction pathway.HMF conversion reached 100.00%,FDCA yield reached 96.82%,and Faradic efficiency(FE)reached 92.14%.Meaningfully,utilizing in-situ spectroscopy and electrochemical methods,this work provided valuable insights into active sites and catalyst surface adsorption.

Transforming liquid flow fuel cells to controllable reactors for highlyefficient oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural to 2, 5-furandicarboxylic acid at low temperature

Highly-efficient oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurtural(HMF) to 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid(FDCA) at low temperature with air as the oxidant is still challenging.Herein,inspired by the respirato ry electron transport chain(ETC) of living cells mediated by electron carriers,we constructed artificial ETCs and transformed liquid flow fuel cells(LFFCs) to flexible reactors for efficient oxidation of HMF to produce FDCA under mild conditions.This LFFC reactor employed an electrodeposition modified nickel foam as an anode to promote HMF oxidation and(VO_(2))_(2)SO_(4) as a cathode electron carrier to facilitate the electron transfer to air.The reaction rate could be easily controlled by selecting the anode catalyst,adjusting the external loading and changing the cathodic electron carrier or oxidants.A maximal power density of 44.9 mW cm^(-2) at room temperature was achieved,while for FDCA production,short-circuit condition was preferred to achieve quick transfer of electrons.For a single batch operation with 0.1 M initial HMF,FDCA yield reached 97.1%.By fed-batch operation,FDCA concentration reached 144.5 g L^(-1) with a total yield of 96%.Ni^(2+)/Ni^(3+) redox couple was the active species mediating the electron transfer,while both experimental and DFT calculation results indicated that HMFCA pathway was the preferred reaction mechanism.

Limit Test and pH Determination of 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural in Jiulongteng Honey

[Objectives]To explore the effect of storage time on pH and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural content in Jiulongteng honey.[Methods]The pH of Jiulongteng honey was determined by neutralization titration with sodium hydroxide standard solution.The content of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural in Jiulongteng honey was determined by HPLC.Chromatographic conditions:ZORBAX SB-C 18 column(250 mm×4.6 mm,5μm)from Agilent Co.,Ltd.,acetonitrile-0.1%formic acid solution(5:95)as mobile phase,flow rate of 0.8 mL/min,5-hydroxymethylfurfural detection wavelength of 284 nm,guanosine detection wavelength of 254 nm.[Results]The pH of 12 batches of Jiulongteng honey was 3.70-3.84 in the new honey stage,3.92-4.05 in the old honey stage 1,and 4.25-4.53 in the old honey stage 2;5-hydroxymethylfurfural was not detected in the new honey stage,5-hydroxymethylfurfural was detected in FM-001 in the old honey stage 1,and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural was detected in most samples in the old honey stage 2.[Conclusions]The pH and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural content of 12 batches of Jiulongteng honey met the requirements within 3 years of storage.There was no 5-hydroxymethylfurfural in Jiulongteng honey,but with the extension of storage time,the detection amount of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural increased significantly even if Jiulongteng honey was stored at low temperature.Therefore,5-hydroxymethylfurfural can be used as an important indicator of honey freshness.

Facet effect on the reconstructed Cu-catalyzed electrochemical hydrogenation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural(HMF) towards 2,5-bis(hydroxymethy)furan (BHMF)

The electrochemical hydrogenation of HMF to BHMF is an elegant alternative to the conventio nal thermocatalytic route for the production of high-value-added chemicals from biomass resources.In virtue of the wide potential window with promising Faradic efficiency(FE) towards BHMF,Cu-based electrode has been in the center of investigation.However,its structure-activity relationship remains ambiguous and its intrinsic catalytic activity is still unsatisfactory.In this work,we develop a two-step oxidation-reduction strategy to reconstruct the surface atom arrangement of the Cu foam(CF).By combination of multiple quasi-situ/in-situ techniques and density functional theory(DFT) calculation,the critical factor that governs the reaction is demonstrated to be facet effect of the metallic Cu crystal:Cu(110) facet accounts for the most favorable surface with enhanced chemisorption with reactants and selective production of BHMF,while Cu(100) facet might trigger the accumulation of the by-product 5,5'-bis(hydroxy methy)hydrofurion(BHH).With the optimized composition of the facets on the reconstructed Cu(OH)_(2)-ER/CF,the performance could be noticeably enhanced with a BHMF FE of 92.3% and HMF conversion of 98.5% at a potential of -0.15 V versus reversible hydrogen electrode(vs.RHE) in 0.1 M KOH solution.This work sheds light on the incomplete mechanistic puzzle for Cu-catalyzed electrochemical hydrogenation of HMF to BHMF,and provides a theoretical foundation for further precise design of highly efficient catalytic electrodes.

Au^(δ-)-O_(v)-Ti^(3+):Active site of MO_(x)-Au/TiO_(2) catalysts for the aerobic oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural

Despite wide applications of noble metal-based catalysts in 5-hydroxymethylfurfural(HMF)oxidation,promoting the catalytic performance at low loading amounts still remains a significant challenge.Herein,a series of metal oxide modified MO_(x)-Au/TiO_(2)(M=Fe,Co,Ni)catalysts with low Au loading amount of 0.5 wt%were synthesized.Addition of transition metal oxides promotes electron transfer and generation of the Au^(δ-)-O_(v)-Ti^(3+)interface.A combination study reveals that the dual-active site(Au^(δ-)-O_(v)-Ti^(3+))governs the catalytic performance of the ratedetermining step,namely hydroxyl group oxidation.Au^(δ-) site facilitates chemisorption and activation of O_(2) molecules.At the same time,O_(v)-Ti^(3+) site acts as the role of“killing two birds with one stone”:enhancing adsorption of both reactants,accelerating the activation and dissociation of H_(2)O,and facilitating activation of the adsorbed O_(2).Besides,superoxide radicals instead of base is the active oxygen species during the rate-determining step.On this basis,a FDCA yield of 71.2% was achieved under base-free conditions,complying with the“green chemistry”principle.This work provides a new strategy for the transition metal oxides modification of Au-based catalysts,which would be constructive for the rational design of other heterogeneous catalysts.

Functionalized metal-organic frameworks with strong acidity and hydrophobicity as an efficient catalyst for the production of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural

In the dehydration of fructose to 5-hydroxymethyl furfural(HMF),in situ produced water weakens the acid strength of the catalyst and causes the rehydration of HMF,causing unsatisfactory catalytic activity and selectivity.In this work,a class of benzenesulfonic acid-grafted metal-organic frameworks with strong acidity and hydrophobicity is obtained by the direct sulfonation method using 4-chlorobenzenesulfonic acid as sulfonating agent.The resultant MOFs have a specific surface area of greater than 250 m^(2)·g^(-1),acid density above 1.0 mmol·g^(-1),and water contact angle up to 129°.The hydrophobic MOF-PhSO_(3)H exhibits both higher catalytic activity and selectivity than MOF-SO_(3)H in the HMF synthesis due to its better hydrophobicity and olephilicity.Moreover,the catalyst has a high recycled stability.At last,fructose is completely converted,and 98.0%yield of HMF is obtained under 120℃ in a DMSO solvent system.The successful preparation of the hydrophobic acidic MOF provides a novel hydrophobic catalyst for the synthesis of HMF.

Selective oxidation of biomass derived 5-hydroxymethylfurfural to 2,5-diformylfuran using sodium nitrite

A mild and simple process for the effective oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural（HMF） into 2,5-diformylfuran（DFF） has been developed using Na NO2 as the oxidant. Some important reaction parameters were investigated to optimize the oxidation of HMF into DFF. It was found that the reaction solvent was very crucial for this reaction. Trifluoroacetic acid was the best solvent for the oxidation of HMF into DFF by Na NO2.Under the optimal reaction condition, almost quantitative HMF conversion and high DFF yield of 90.4% were obtained after 1 h at room temperature.

Highly efficient production of 2,5-dihydroxymethylfuran from biomass-derived 5-hydroxymethylfurfural over an amorphous and mesoporous zirconium phosphonate catalyst

The development of high-efficiency and low-cost catalysts is very crucial for the MeerweinPonndorf-Verley (MPV) reduction of biomass-derived 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) into 2,5-dihydroxymethylfuran (DHMF). In this work, an amorphous and mesoporous zirconium phosphonate catalyst (Zr-DTMP), which is a zirconium-containing organic-inorganic nanohybrid, was successfully designed and synthesized by the simple assembly of zirconium tetrachloride (ZrCl4) and diethylene triaminepenta(methylene phosphonic acid)(DTMP). Satisfactorily, when Zr-DTMP was employed for the MPV reduction of HMF in the presence of 2-butanol (secBuOH), DHMF yield could be achieved as 96.5% in 3 h under a relatively mild reaction temperature of 140℃. Systematic investigations indicated that this high catalytic activity should be mainly due to the cooperative role of enhancive Lewis acid site (Zr4+) and Lewis base site (O2-) in activating the carbonyl group of HMF and dissociating the hydroxyl group of secBuOH, respectively. Additionally, Zr-DTMP showed excellent catalytic stability, when it was successively used 5 recycles, its surface characteristics and textural properties still remained almost unchanged, and so, the catalytic activity was not obviously affected. More interestingly, Zr-DTMP could also be applied for the selective reduction of other biomass-derived carbonyl compounds, such as 5-methylfurfural (MF), furfural (FF), levulinic acid (LA), ethyl levulinate (EL) and cyclohexanone (CHN), into the corresponding products with high yields, which is beneficial to the effective synthesis of various valuable bio-based chemicals.

A Low-Cost and Easily Prepared Manganese Carbonate as an Effi cient Catalyst for Aerobic Oxidation of 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural to 2,5-Diformylfuran

A low-cost and easily prepared manganese carbonate(Mn CO_3) has been synthesized for catalytic conversion of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural(5-HMF) to 2,5-diformylfuran(DFF). The properties and morphology of the manganese carbonate were measured by SEM,XRD,TGA,BET and XPS. In this method,no harsh reaction conditions were required,and it was a simple and green process for the oxidation of 5-HMF into DFF. To achieve an optimum DFF yield,different reaction conditions,including reaction temperature,reaction time,catalyst amount,and solvents were investigated. Results from the experiments indicated that the highest DFF yield of 86.9% was obtained at 120 °C under atmospheric oxygen pressure after 6h. Finally,Mn CO_3 could be used at least five times with considerable stability.

Mesoporous Ti-Mo Mixed Oxides Catalyzed Transformation of Carbohydrates into 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural

Mesoporous Ti-Mo mixed oxides were prepared via a facile approach using stearic acid as the template, and were characterized using XRD FT-IR, nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherm and TEM techniques. The catalytic activity of the prepared mesoporous Ti-Mo mixed oxides was first evaluated for the dehydration of fructose to 5-hydroxymethylfurfural(HMF), and a 50.3% yield of HMF was obtained within 60min at 120℃. Moreover, moderate yields of HMF could also be achieved from glucose and sucrose. The mesoporous catalyst could be simply separated from the reaction mixture after termination of the reaction and reused five times with no significant loss of catalytic activity.

Fabricating amide functional group modified hyper-cross-linked adsorption resin with enhanced adsorption and recognition performance for 5-hydroxymethylfurfural adsorption via simple one-step

In this study,three kinds of amide functional group modified hyper-cross-linked adsorption resin were synthesized by alternating radical copolymerization in simple one-step and applied for 5-hydroxymethylfurfural(5-HMF)adsorption.The successful synthesis and properties of adsorbents were evaluated with Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy,scanning electron microscopy,nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherms,thermogravimetric analysis,and elemental analysis.Poly(N,N’-4,4’-diphenyl methane-bismaleimide-alt-divinylbenzene)(poly(BDM-alt-DVB))resin exhibited highest adsorption capacity for 5-HMF(64.0 mg·g^(-1)wet resin)and excellent adsorption selectivity(a_(5-HMF/LA)=2.71±0.12,α_(5-HMF/FA)=13.88±0.15,α_(5-HMF/Glucose)=11.91±1.11)in the multi-component solution at 25℃.Langmuir isotherm model well fitted the equilibrium adsorption data within the initial 5-HMF concentration range of 0.5-10.0 g·L^(-1) with highest correlation coefficient.Furthermore,the thermodynamic parameters demonstrated that the adsorption of 5-HMF onto poly(BDM-alt-DVB)resin was spontaneous and exothermic.Kinetic study revealed that the adsorption process was fast,reaching equilibrium within12 min.Importantly,the poly(BDM-alt-DVB)resin also demonstrated excellent reusability.In summary,the poly(BDM-alt-DVB)resin will be useful in 5-HMF hydrolysate separation applications.

Adjacent acid sites cooperatively catalyze fructose to 5-hydroxymethylfurfural in a new, facile pathway

To study the effect of adjacent hydroxyl to the active sites, several acid catalysts, i.e. substituted benzoic acids with adjacent carboxyl are employed in the fructose dehydration to 5-hydroxymethylfurfural(HMF).Experimental results reveal that Br?nsted acid sites with adjacent carboxyl present higher catalytic ability than isolated ones. Computational results suggest that the adjacent sites lead to co-interaction on fructose, corresponding more stable transition state and faster HMF formation rate. Based on the enhancement from the adjacent sites, a novel ordered mesoporous carbon(OMC) full of carboxyls in surface is prepared and turns out to be an effective solid catalyst for HMF production from fructose derived from biomass.
