AbstractSolar-driven, selective biomass hydrogenation is recognized as a promising route to renewable chemicals production, but remains challenging. Here, we report a TiO2 supported Cu single-atom catalyst with a four-coordinated Cu1−O4 structure, which can be universally applied for solar-driven production of various renewable chemicals from lignocellulosic biomass-derived platform molecules with good yields using green methanol as a hydrogen donor, to address this challenge.

1 Introduction The Sabatier reaction is a key technique for renewable energy storage in power-to-gas conversion as well as environmental control and life support systems (ECLSS) in manned spacecraft, which involves heterogeneous catalysis toward highly selective hydrogenation of carbon dioxide (CO2) to methane (CH4).[1] Recently, transition metal-based nanocatalysts have received much attention due to their high selectivity for CH4 by facilitating formate intermediate species.[2] To further...
