Fluoride-catalysed reduction of glucose using silicon powder as a reducing agent
Kojo Toa, Motokura Ken, Takagaki Atsushi
RSC Sustainability 4 ( 2 ) 742 - 747 2025.11 [Reviewed]
Authorship：Last author, Corresponding author Language：English Publishing type：Research paper (scientific journal) Joint Work
As a means of simultaneously utilizing biomass and waste silicon from used solar panels, this work assessed the reduction of glucose to sorbitol using silicon powder as a reducing agent. Tetrabutylammonium fluoride was found to catalyse this process in conjunction with water as a proton donor. The addition of an acid also suppressed the undesired base-catalysed side reactions, resulting in an improved sorbitol yield.

The catalytic activity of solid acids and bases is strongly affected by local structural features such as edge sites, interlayer galleries, lattice strain, and hierarchical porosity, yet these critical motifs are often optimized empirically. This review introduces crystal-structure-guided design strategies for inorganic solid acid and base catalysts, illustrated through four approaches developed in our work. (i) Edge engineering in hexagonal boron nitride (BN): top-down ball milling exposes polar planes and introduces surface –OH/–NH2 groups, converting inert layered BN into a bifunctional acid-base catalyst for nitroaldol reaction and Knoevenagel reactions with high selectivity. (ii) Porogen-directed porosity in porous BN: pyrolysis with single or multiple nitrogen-containing porogens controls micro/mesoporosity; base-catalyzed activity scales with pore volume, while weak surface acidity enables efficient CO2-epoxide cycloaddition. (iii) Chemo-mechanical strain into TiO2 via spark plasma sintering: thermal-expansion mismatch with Au introduces three-dimensional tensile strain in rutile, expanding the unit cell and stabilizing Ti3+/Ti2+ species that correlate with enhanced Brønsted-acid-type activity in furfural acetalization. (iv) interlayer acidity and selective intercalation in HNbMoO6: robust, water-tolerant Brønsted acid sites and substrate gating govern saccharide hydrolysis, esterification, and polyol cyclodehydration. Solvent-free mechanochemistry further enables cellulose depolymerization to soluble sugars.
