Visible light mediated upgrading of biomass to biofuel
AgPd@g-C3N4, comprising heterogenized Ag and Pd
nanoparticles on graphitic carbon nitride, g-C3N4, has been
synthesized and used for the upgrading of biofuel as exemplified
by the hydrodeoxygenation of lignin-derived vanillin under
photochemical conditions using formic acid. The bimetallic
framework is found to …
