Lignocellulosic biomass has been developed as a sustainable and promising feedstock for production of various valueadded chemicals and biofuels [1–3]. Due to the oxygen-rich features of biomass sources, the yielded products are typically functionalized with oxygen-containing species, remarkably enriching the product variety [4–7]. Moreover, functionalization of biomass derivatives with nitrogen, sulphur, phosphorus, and silicon atoms can also be achieved via specific reaction routes or catalytic pathways [8, 9]. ose heteroatom-containing compounds are crucial core scaffolds or key intermediates in a wide range of bioactive molecules and functional materials and can also be directly used as solvents, surfactants, and so on [10–12]. is special issue intends to highlight current advances in the development and optimization of catalytic systems and processes for the selective transformation of lignocellulosic biomass and derivatives to value-added products, especially heteroatom-containing compounds. e papers selected are on the development of green technologies to upgrade biomass and waste resources, and those with topics on the design of appropriate catalytic materials/molecules with controllable functionalities or the establishment of fitting catalytic processes to boost conversion processes are also considered. Hereby, we are pleased to share six exciting papers on biomass valorization with the readers. In the paper entitled “Hydrothermal Catalytic Conversion of Glucose to Lactic Acid with Acidic MIL-101 (Fe),” X. Liu et al. explore MIL-101 (Fe) as a heterogeneous acid catalyst for direct conversion of glucose to lactic acid, with a … |
