Project ID: D2018-55 Background Increasing population drives increasing energy demand. Fuel cells and electrochemical devices are under investigation for use as an energy supply. However, the devices may not being reaching their commercialization potential; Proton Exchange Membranes (PEMs) are limited by the use of platinum catalysts, fuel crossover,...

Homogenous and Reusable Superacid Polymer Catalyst for the Synthesis of 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural from Glucose

Project ID: D2018-18 Background Combinations of Brønsted and Lewis acid catalysts are generally used for the production of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) from glucose. However, reutilization of these catalysts is challenging due to their solubility in reaction medium. Heterogeneous catalysts containing both types of acid sites are not usually...
