🚀 Key Contributions

Jiliang Ma has made several pioneering contributions to the field of photocatalytic biomass refining and renewable energy. He achieved the first thermocatalytic synthesis of xylonic acid in a neutral system, a significant milestone in biomass science. His research also introduced the low-temperature photocatalytic synthesis of xylonic acid and lactic acid in alkaline systems, revealing that high alkalinity favors lactic acid production, while low alkalinity enhances xylonic acid synthesis. By combining oxidation and reduction half-reactions, he enabled the simultaneous photocatalytic selective oxidation of biomass to produce lactic acid and hydrogen, improving reaction efficiency. Furthermore, he was the first to elucidate the mechanism for the simultaneous production of lactic acid and CO through photocatalytic biomass refining coupled with CO₂ reduction in alkaline systems, marking a significant advancement in sustainable chemical synthesis.
