During this year, we have developed for the first time to use copper-containing metal organic frameworks (MOFs) as heterogeneous copper-containing catalysts with the use of co-catalyst TEMPO to efficiently oxidize biomass derivatives into value-added products. In particular, TEMPO was also directly supported on copper-containing metal organic frameworks (MOFs) to form a dual-function catalyst, which has copper-containing active sites and TEMPO oxidation catalytic properties, and can also achieve very efficient conversion efficiency. In 2019, using bacterial fermentation and nanoclays, we successfully transform the feces with litters of meat-type chickens into manure.
