Stable silica-modified zirconia with tunable acidity for enhanced catalytic transfer hydrogenation of levulinic acid and esters to ฮณ-valerolactone ฮณ-Valerolactone (GVL) is a valuable bio-based chemical, solvent and fuel additive derived from levulinic acid, a key platform chemical from lignocellulosic biomass. Catalytic transfer hydrogenation (C...

Silica modification is a simple and effective way to tune the properties of a zirconia as a solid acid catalyst. It enhances hydrogen-free conversion of biomass-derived levulinic acid into ฮณ-valerolactone.

Shouldn't there be an international regulatory body for scientific publishing to establish frameworks and ensure that publishers meet certain minimum standards?
