Metal and metal oxide-based catalysts are important in catalyzing a wide range of reactions including hydrogenation, oxidation, reforming, O elimination, and C-C bond formation. Here I will highlight the collaborative efforts with my colleagues and collaborators in the areas of: 1) supported metal catalysts for the aqueous-phase selective hydrogenation of biomass-derived succinic acid to value-added chemicals; 2) highly active and robust metal and bimetallic catalysts for steam reforming and Fischer-Tropsch reactions to enable the design of microchannel reactors for process intensification; 3) atomically dispersed single atom catalysts for methanol carbonylation and emission abatement; 4) earth abundant Fe-based catalysts for O elimination from lignin-derived compounds; 5) multifunctional metal oxides for the conversion of fermentation-derived oxygenates to fuel and chemical precursors.
