Visible light mediated upgrading of biomass to biofuel

Description

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 be highly active due to the synergistic effects of Ag and Pd with the graphitic carbon nitride support and their mutual interaction. This dataset is associated with the following publication: Varma , R., M. Nadagouda , S. Verma, and R.B. Nasir Baig. Visible light mediated upgrading of biomass to biofuel. Energy & Environmental Science. RSC Publishing, Cambridge, UK, 18(5): 1327-1333, (2016).
