The concept to utilize solar light energy at room temperature and ambient conditions via photocatalysis to selectively convert lignocellulosic biomass to important chemicals is gaining momentum and aggressively to be pursued. Synthesis of valuable products including some of the so-called sugar-derived platform molecules (e.g. succinic 2 5-furandicarboxylic 3-hydroxypropionic gluconic glucaric and levulinic acids) through photocatalysis is a highly innovative approach that can bring several benefits from energy and environmental viewpoints. As such photocatalytic selective processes are able to keep selectivities to products at reasonable levels at increasing conversions in the systems as opposed to conventional thermally activated heterogeneous catalysis. Simultaneous production of hydrogen along with value-added biofuels is the ultimate process which is of interest in our group. drkamalsgroup.com
