Funded Activity Summary

One-dimensional nanostructured catalysts for heterogeneous catalytic conversion of biomass to furan derivatives. A sustainable future depends on the partial replacement of petrochemicals, and the use of bioresources synthesise fine chemicals and fuels. This project will develop new-generation novel catalysts to make this possible by syntheisising essential starting compounds from biomass using a green chemical process.
