TL;DR: A specific objective of this review article is to motivate researchers to synthesize some of the "designer" bimetallic catalysts with specific nanostructures, inspired from recent advances in the area of materials chemistry, and to utilize them for the transformation of biomass derived materials that are very complex and pose different challenges compared to those of simple organic molecules.

Toward an aggregated understanding of enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulose: noncomplexed cellulase systems.
TL;DR: It is suggested that it is timely to revisit and reinvigorate functional modeling of cellulose hydrolysis and that this would be highly beneficial if not necessary in order to bring to bear the large volume of information available on cellulase components on the primary applications that motivate interest in the subject.

Journal ArticleDOI
Raney Ni-Sn Catalyst for H2 Production from Biomass-Derived Hydrocarbons
TL;DR: Hydrogen was produced by aqueous-phase reforming of biomass-derived oxygenated hydrocarbons at temperatures near 500 kelvin over a tin-promoted Raney-nickel catalyst, which compares favorably with that of platinum-based catalysts for production of hydrogen from ethylene glycol, glycerol, and sorbitol.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dissolution and Hydrolysis of Cellulose in Subcritical and Supercritical Water
TL;DR: In this paper, microcrystalline cellulose decomposition experiments were conducted in subcritical and supercritical water (25 MPa, 320−400 °C, and 0.05−10.0 s).
Journal ArticleDOI
Productive and parasitic pathways in dilute acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of cellulose
TL;DR: In this article, an acid-catalized parasitic pathway was found to operate in competition with the glucose production pathway in the presence of acid, and kinetic modeling of the measured, temperature-dependent rates of glucose evolution indictaes that an acidated, catalized, parasitic pathway operates in competition.
