Abstract:The preparation of fuel chemicals using biomass as raw materials is of great significance in reducing dependence on fossil fuels and building a green energy structure. In recent years, research on the one-pot multi-step conversion of the biomass platform compound furfural into high value-added fuel chemicals such as levulinic acid and levulinate esters, γ-valerolactone and 2-methylfuran has attracted attention. In this paper, the research progress in bifunctional catalysts for one pot conversion of furfural to levulinic acid, levulinic acid ester, γ-valerolactone and 2-methylfuranin in recent six years is reviewed. The reaction paths and possible mechanisms of the multi-step conversion reactions were summarized, and the types of high-efficiency catalysts and the required active centers for each step were also summarized. It provides a new idea for the design and preparation of high efficient bifunctional catalysts for the conversion of furfural into high-value fuel compounds , and provides valuable reference for further development and better utilization of furfural.
