This review summarizes recent advances in the synthesis, characterization and application of heteroatom (Ti, Zr, Sn, and Hf) Lewis acid zeolites in the conversion of biomass-derived oxygenates.
Nickel-containing Lewis acidic zeolites as highly selective ethylene oligomerization catalysts.
A heterogeneous dual catalytic system converts polyoxymethylene waste to methanol with up to 99% yield under mild hydrogenative conditions.
The catalytically active sites and hierarchical structure in Mg–Sn-Beta-H zeolite exhibited a clear synergistic effect on the conversion of glucose to lactic acid by promoting the main reaction steps and inhibiting the progress of side reactions.
Alkyl tin precursors tune the local structure around the catalytic site in Lewis acid zeolite Sn-Beta, affecting catalytic activity.
