Abstract
The increasing concern for the environment has spurred research into the use of new feedstocks such as biomass and CO2 for the sustainable production of chemicals and materials. Here I will show, based on selected examples of own work on electrocatalytic and thermocatalytic glucose and starch oxidation, CO2 capture and lipid deoxygenation that carbon supports are eminently suitable for studying particle and support effects when converting these new feedstocks. In addition the replacement of noble metals by Mo-carbide and W-carbide, i.e. more readily available non-noble metal based catalysts, will be demonstrated for carbon based supported carbides. These examples highlight the relevance and potential of carbon supports in future catalysis.
