Pulsed Photothermal Heterogeneous Catalysis [PDF]
Anthropogenic climate change urgently calls for the greening and intensification of the chemical industry. Most chemical reactors make use of catalysts to increase their conversion yields, but their operation at steady-state temperatures limits rate, selectivity, and energy efficiency.

Photothermal Catalysis of Cellulose to Prepare Levulinic Acid-Rich Bio-Oil. [PDF]
As a carbon-neutral and renewable raw material, cellulose can be transformed into biomass fuels to reduce the dependence on fossil fuels and carbon dioxide emissions. In view of harsh reaction conditions, low selectivity of product, and easy deactivation of the catalyst, this study studied the use of photothermal catalytic technology to convert ...
