Ring-hydrogenation of 4-propylphenol (4-PP) to 4-propylcyclohexanone, cis- and trans-4-propylcyclohexanols proceeded over graphite-supported palladium catalysts (Pd/G) in aqueous ethanol solution at 573K without using external hydrogen gas. Compared to Pd

Pyrolysis and liquefaction biocrudes obtained from lignocellulose are rich in phenolic compounds that can be converted to renewable aromatics. In this study, Pt catalysts on reducible metal oxide supports (Nb2O5, TiO2), along with irreducible ZrO2 as a reference, were investigated in the liquid-phase hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) of 4-propylphenol (350 °C, 20 bar H2, organic solvent). The most active catalyst was Pt/Nb2O5, which led to the molar propylbenzene selectivity of 77 percent, and a yield of 75 percent (98 percent conversion). Reducible metal oxide supports provided an increased activity and selectivity to the aromatic product compared to ZrO2, and the obtained results are among the best reported in liquid-phase. The reusability of the spent catalysts was also studied. The spent Pt/Nb2O5 catalyst provided the lowest conversion, while the product distribution of the spent Pt/ZrO2 catalyst changed towards oxygenates. The results highlight the potential of pyrolysis or liquefaction biocrudes as a source of aromatic chemicals.

The development of robust electrocatalysts for electrocatalytic hydrogenation (ECH) of guaiacol and related lignin model monomers is necessary for the stabilization or upgrading of bio-oil. Additionally, the efficiency of biomass conversion to bio-oil products remains below the minimum requirements for its implementation at scale. Herein, a PtNiB/CMK-3 catalyst with pronounced ECH performance in the conversion of guaiacol and related model lignin monomers to bio-oil under optimally mild conditions, through a modulation strategy that modified the electronic structure of PtNi via boron alloying, is prepared. Notably, the optimized PtNiB/CMK-3 exhibited an inspiring high faradaic efficiency of 86.2%, which is significantly higher (13.7 times) than that of the PtNi/CMK-3 without B-doping (6.3%). Experimental results and theoretical calculations showed that the B-doping optimized the PtNiB alloy surface electron structure, simultaneously promoting substrate and intermediate adsorption and the ECH process. In addition, the uniform dispersion of PtNiB nanoparticles embedded within the mesoporous channels of CMK-3 ensures an enhanced utilization efficiency, leading to improvements in stability and bio-oil product generation. The lab-scale ECH experiment of guaiacol also certified the scale-up potential. This work opens a promising avenue to the rational design of advanced and highly efficient electrocatalysts for biomass upgrading.
