What is it about?
The increasing reliance on fossil fuels and the resulting emissions will inevitably lead to unprecedented impacts on the affected regions globally. This prompts researchers to seek effective sources of sustainable energy. In this context, value-added biomass-derived chemical intermediates can be regarded as robust alternatives for petrochemical raw materials. 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural(HMF) is considered a biomass-derived compound utilized as an intermediate in the manufacturing of diverse renewable chemicals.

Why is it important?
The novel catalyst Au@MgFeCe LDH, loaded with 1wt% Au, exhibited outstanding catalytic activity in the production of FDCA, achievingcompleteHMFconversionand90%FDCAselectivity.
Perspectives
Under optimized reaction conditions, the Au@Mg4Fe0.5Ce0.9 LDH catalyst demonstrated the capability to achieve 100%conversion of HMF with a selectivity of90% toward FDCA.
