Abstract
The design of high activity catalyst for the efficiently conversion of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) to 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) gains great interest. The rationally tailoring of electronic structure directly affects the interaction between catalysts and organic substrates, especially molecular oxygen as the oxidant. This work, the bimetallic catalysts AuPd/CeO2 were prepared by the combining method of chemical reduction and photo-deposition, effectively concerting charge between Au and Pd and forming the electron-rich state of Au. The increasing of oxygen vacancy concentration of CeO2 by acidic treatment can facilitate the adsorption of HMF for catalysts and enhance the yield of FDCA (99.0 %). Moreover, a series of experiment results combining with density functional theory calculation illustrated that the oxidation performance of catalyst in HMF conversion was strongly related to the electronic state of interfacial Au-Pd-CeO2. Furthermore, the electron-rich state sites strengthen the adsorption and activation of molecular oxygen, greatly promoting the elimination of β-hydride for the selective oxidation of 5-hydroxymethyl-2-furancarboxylic acid (HMFCA) to FDCA, accompanied with an outgoing FDCA formation rate of 13.21 mmol ⋅ g-1 ⋅ min-1 at 80 °C. The perception exhibited in this research could be benefit to understanding the effects of electronic state for interfacial sites and designing excellent catalysts for the oxidation of HMF.

Abstract
Manganese dioxide, β-MnO2, has shown potential in catalyzing the oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) to 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA), a monomer of bioplastic polyethylene furanoate (PEF). Herein, the insight into the hydroxy (OH) and surface oxygen effects on the HMF-to-FDCA reaction over β-MnO2 is clarified through a comprehensive investigation using density functional theory (DFT) calculations, microkinetic modeling, and experiment. Theoretical analyses revealed that both active surface oxygen and OH species (from either base or solvent) facilitate C-H bond breaking and OH insertion, promoting the catalytic activity of β-MnO2. Microkinetic modeling demonstrated that the FFCA-to-FDCA and DFF-to-FFCA steps are the rate-limiting steps of the hydroxylated and non-hydroxylated surfaces, respectively. These theoretical results agree well with the experiment when water and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) were used as solvents. In addition, the synthesized β-MnO2 catalyst showed high stability and activity, maintaining stable HMF conversion (≥99 mol%) and high FDCA yield (85-92 mol%) during continuous flow oxidation for 72 hours at pO2 of 1 MPa, 393 K and LHSV of 1 h-1. Thus, considering both hydroxy and surface oxygen species is a new strategy for enhancing the catalytic activity of Mn oxides and other metal oxide catalysts for the HMF-to-FDCA reaction.

Abstract
Visible light photocatalysis is widely considered a sustainable approach to break down micropollutants without chemical addition. To promote the output of photogenerated carriers under visible light, a Z-scheme plasmonic photocatalyst Bi-CeO2/Ag0/BiO2 was designed and fabricated to activate dissolved oxygen in water for micropollutant degradation. The doped Bi not only improved the separation of electron-hole, but also narrowed the band gap of CeO2 to enhance its absorption of visible light. Notably, metallic silver (Ag0) works as an electronic transmission vehicle from Bi-CeO2 to BiO2 in a Z-scheme mechanism. Likewise, the surface plasmon resonance effect of Ag0 also enhanced the absorption of visible light. Furthermore, the Bi doping induced abundant surface oxygen vacancies on CeO2 for enhanced capability and selectivity towards O2 adsorption and activation, which favored the generation of O2•- by photogenerated electrons to degrade sulfamethoxazole, enrofloxacin, and bisphenol A. Theoretical calculation results also confirmed the O2•--driven degradation pathway for sulfamethoxazole. Therefore, the Z-scheme Bi-CeO2/Ag0/BiO2 not only extends the photocatalytic reactivity of CeO2-based catalysts to the visible light range, but also provides a chemical-free method to effectively degrade micropollutants.

Abstract
The construction of strong metal-support interactions in oxide-supported noble metal nanocatalysts has been considered an emerging and efficient way in improving catalytic performance in biomass-upgrading reactions. Herein, a citric acid (CA)-assisted synthesized ZrO2 layer with improved oxygen vacancy (Ov) concentrations on a natural clay mineral of halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) was designed. Moreover, AuxPdy/ZrO2@HNTs-zCA catalysts were prepared by loading AuPd bimetal and employed for aerobic oxidation of the lignocellulosic biomass-derived 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) platform to the bioplastic monomer 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) with water as the solvent. The results of catalytic experiments revealed that the Au3Pd1/ZrO2@HNTs-1.0CA catalyst exhibited excellent catalytic activity at 0.5 MPa O2, with a satisfactory FDCA yield of 99.5% and outstanding FDCA formation rate of 1057.9 mmol·g-1·h-1. The improved Ov concentration in the ZrO2 support enhanced the adsorption and activation ability of the catalyst for O2, and a higher Lewis acid concentration provided a stronger adsorption ability of the catalyst for reaction substrates. Besides, the synergistic effect of AuPd bimetallic nanoparticles steered the tandem oxidation of aldehyde and alcohol groups in HMF and accelerated the rate-determining step. More importantly, the relationship between the Ov concentration and catalytic performance also demonstrated that the enhanced catalytic activity for HMF oxidation was mainly attributed to the active interface of AuPd-ZrOx. This work offers fresh insights into rationally designing oxygen vacancy-driven strong interactions between the oxide support and noble nanoparticles for the catalytic upgrade of biomass platform chemicals.

Abstract
Aerobic oxidation of bio-sourced 2,5-bis(hydroxymethyl)furan (BHMF) to 2, 5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA), a renewable and green alternative to petroleum-derived terephthalic acid (TPA), is of great significance in green chemicals production. Herein, hierarchical porous bowl-like nitrogen-rich (nitrated) carbon-supported bimetallic Au-Pd nanocatalysts (AumPdn/ N-BNxC) with different nitrogen content and bimetal nanoparticle sizes were developed and employed for the highly efficient aerobic oxidation of BHMF to FDCA in sodium carbonate aqueous solution. The reaction pathway for catalytic oxidation of BHMF went through the steps of BHMF→HMF→HMFCA→FFCA→FDCA. Kinetics studies showed that the activation energies of BHMF, HMF, HMFCA, and FFCA were 58.1 kJ·moL−1, 39.1 kJ·moL−1, 129.2 kJ·moL−1, and 56.3 kJ·moL−1, respectively, indicating that the oxidation of intermediate HMFCA to FFCA was the rate-determining step. ESR tests proved that the active species was a superoxide radical. Owing to the synergy between the nitrogen-rich carbon support and bimetallic Au-Pd nanoparticles, the Au1Pd1/N-BN2C nanocatalysts exhibited BHMF conversion of 100% and FDCA yield of 95.8% under optimal reaction conditions. Furthermore, the nanocatalysts showed good stability and reusability. This work provides a versatile strategy for the design of heterogeneous catalysts for the highly efficient production of FDCA from BHMF.

Abstract
The aerobic oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), a key platform compound derived from biomass, to 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) is a highly important reaction in the production of green and sustainable chemicals. Here, we developed a highly efficient and stable halloysite-supported Pt-Au alloy catalyst for the selective oxidation of HMF to FDCA. The catalyst was synthesized through the organosilane functionalization of halloysite nanotubes, followed by the in situ formation and dispersion of Pt-Au alloy nanoparticles on the internal and external surfaces of nanotubes. The composition, morphology, and structure of the prepared catalyst were characterized. The catalyst with the optimal composition of Pt/Au molar ratio of 1/4 and metal loading of 1.5 wt % exhibited outstanding catalytic activity for the oxidation of HMF to FDCA using O2 as an oxidant with 100% conversion of HMF and 99% selectivity of FDCA. This excellent catalytic performance is mainly attributed to the high dispersion and alloying effects of bimetallic nanoparticles, which promoted the activation of reactants or intermediates and further improved FDCA selectivity. Furthermore, the halloysite-supported Pt/Au bimetallic catalyst showed high stability and reusability. This study provides a promising strategy by combining clay mineral halloysite and bimetallic alloys for developing efficient catalysts with high FDCA selectivity and stability for the oxidation of HMF to FDCA.
