Description

A ceria supported Ag-Pd photocatalytic system was introduced to drive 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) oxidation to 2,5-Furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) under ambient conditions, which could achieve an excellent yield (over 90 per cent) of FDCA within 4 hours under green light irradiation. Significantly, the content of palladium required in this system is relatively small. This discovery might drive the exploration of new photocatalytic systems with different nanostructures or elemental compositions to catalyze chemical reactions.

Search Google Scholar™

Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.

These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.

Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
