Several renewable catalysts have been explored and utilized in various chemical processes. Examples include:
Biocatalysts: Enzymes and microbes that catalyze reactions under mild conditions. Biochar: Carbon-rich material obtained from biomass pyrolysis, used in catalysis and adsorption. Lignin-derived catalysts: Obtained from lignin, a major component of plant biomass, used in oxidation and hydrogenation reactions. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs): Hybrid materials that can be synthesized using renewable organic linkers.
