Since lignocellulosic biomass does not compete with food sources and is widely available as a low-cost renewable feedstock, it has drawn a lot of attention as one of the most attractive alternatives to replace fossil raw materials for the production of high added-value chemicals. Polyols such as sorbitol, xylitol and ethylene glycol are three of the most important chemicals and can be converted into widely used products (e.g. in food and pharmaceutical industries, polymer synthesis, etc.). The heterogeneous catalytic conversion of renewable biomass into these compounds provides a safe and sustainable approach, where the one-pot hydrolytic hydrogenation has proven to be one of the most effective strategies for this purpose. Hence, this article summarizes the latest developments on the direct conversion of biomass for the catalytic production of polyols.

由于木质纤维素生物质不能与食物竞争，并且可以作为低成本的可再生原料而广泛获得，因此，木质纤维素生物质作为替代化石原料来生产高附加值化学品的最有吸引力的替代方法之一已引起了广泛关注。多元醇（例如山梨糖醇，木糖醇和乙二醇）是最重要的三种化学药品，可以转化为广泛使用的产品（例如在食品和制药行业，聚合物合成等）。可再生生物质向这些化合物的异质催化转化提供了一种安全且可持续的方法，其中单锅水解加氢已被证明是实现此目的最有效的策略之一。因此，
