Innovative nanofibrous membranes based on Pd/Au catalysts immobilized via electrospinning onto different polymers were engineered and tested in the selective oxidation of 5-(hydroxymethyl)furfural in an aqueous phase. The type of polymer and the method used to insert the active phases in the membrane were demonstrated to have a significant effect on catalytic performance. The hydrophilicity and the glass transition temperature of the polymeric component are key factors for producing active and selective materials. Nylon-based membranes loaded with unsupported metal nanoparticles were demonstrated to be more efficient than polyacrylonitrile-based membranes, displaying good stability and leading to high yield in 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid. These results underline the promising potential of large-scale applications of electrospinning for the preparation of catalytic nanofibrous membranes to be used in processes for the conversion of renewable molecules.

We are the first to report the synthesis of maleic acid in quantitative yield by oxidation of 5-hydroxymethyl furfural with hydrogen peroxide in the presence of sodium bicarbonate in an aqueous medium under ambient conditions without the using of toxic catalysts and solvents. 5-hydroxymethyl furfural and 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid have been prepared from hexose plant biomass. Based on maleic anhydride and 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid, unsaturated polyesters were synthesized for the first time from renewable raw materials only. A fiber-reinforced polymer composite based on these polyester resins have been prepared. Strength properties of carbon and glass fiber-reinforced polymer composites are 1.5 times superior to the strength of similar phthalic acid based composites.

: Simultaneous electrocatalytic conversion of biomass into high-value products and electrolysis of water for hydrogen are promising strategies to relieve the fossil energy crisis. Herein, we overview the recent advances and perspectives in the electrocatalytic oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) and water reduction to synchronously produce value-added 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) and hydrogen fuel. Two strategies of bifunctional electrocatalysts and redox mediators are discussed. Oxidation of HME to FDCA was found to be more thermodynamically and kinetically favorable than the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Moreover, the opportunities and challenges brought by them are presented.

We report, for the first time, the synthesis of polyamide composite coating based on renewable plant biomass sources. 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) was prepared by catalytic oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) obtained by plant biomass conversion. FDCA was used in the synthesis of aliphatic and aromatic furanic polyamides. Two approaches to furanic PAs synthesis have been investigated: (i) synthesis of hexamethylenediamine furanoate salt and its subsequent polycondensation; (ii) synthesis of FDCA dichloride and its subsequent polycondensation in a two-phase aqueous-organic system. The effect of the nature of organic solvent (tetraclormetan, dichloromethane, N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone) and the nature of diamine (hexamethylenediamine and paraphenylenediamine) on the yield and molecular weight of furanic polyamide was studied. The synthesized aliphatic polyamide was used for enamel fabrication. Colloidal graphite and activated carbon obtained from the waste of biomass conversion into HMF were used as fillers. The furanic PA composite coatings on steel provide the lower coefficient of friction and lower wear compared with that of commercial polyamide (PA6) coatings and can be considered as novel promising anti-friction coating materials.
