In the past few years, biofuels have emerged as renewable alternative to encounter global energy requirements in a greener way. Biomass is a sustainable cost-effective natural resource with wide diversity for conversion to biofuel such as biodiesel, biogas, bio-oil, biohydrogen, etc. via various chemical, thermal, or biochemical routes. Catalysis plays a pivotal role to convert biomass to biofuels, but conventional catalysts show a lot of short comings. To address these problems, a novel nanocatalysts approach is considered to be the most promising option. Nanocatalysts offer extremely high surface area, enhanced selectivity, better stability and catalytic activity at an atomic and molecular level in comparison to bulk catalysis. Here an insight about the limitation of traditional catalysts, the importance of nanocatalysts, various types of nanocatalysts, and their application in conversion of biomass to biofuel is given. It emphasizes the state-of-the-art developments in terms of catalysis and catalytic processes that are anticipated to play a crucial role in biomass conversion to fuel are emphasized and the chemistry behind nanocatalyst design for biofuel production and reduction of inhibitory effect is highlighted.

催化在生物燃料生产过程中的作用——综述

在过去几年中,生物燃料已成为可再生替代品,以更环保的方式满足全球能源需求。生物质是一种可持续的、具有成本效益的自然资源,具有广泛的多样性,可通过各种化学、热或生化途径转化为生物燃料,如生物柴油、沼气、生物油、生物氢等。催化在将生物质转化为生物燃料方面发挥着关键作用,但传统催化剂显示出很多缺点。为了解决这些问题,新型纳米催化剂方法被认为是最有前途的选择。与本体催化相比,纳米催化剂在原子和分子水平上具有极高的表面积、增强的选择性、更好的稳定性和催化活性。在这里深入了解传统催化剂的局限性,纳米催化剂的重要性,介绍了各种类型的纳米催化剂,以及它们在生物质转化为生物燃料中的应用。它强调了预计在生物质转化为燃料中起关键作用的催化和催化过程方面的最新发展,并强调了用于生物燃料生产和减少抑制作用的纳米催化剂设计背后的化学。
