When reacted at 180 °C for 2 h, the THFDCA conversion and AA yield were 100 % and 99.9 %, respectively.

The composition analysis was done with the help of energy-dispersive x-ray (EDX) and stability of the sample against elevated temperature was estimated with the help of thermo gravimetric as well as differential thermal analysis (TG-DTA). XRD shows that the crystallinity of MoS₂ was not very high whereas pure ZnO shows well-crystalline features. FESEM micrographs confirmed growth of fractal nature of MoS₂ over ZnO rods. FTIR showed the different bond present in the material whereas UV-Vis spectra aided to have ideas about the band gap of all the samples. PL study shows that ZnO gives the most intense luminescence signal carrying the signature of both band to band and defect induced transition. In case of hybrid sample the emission wavelength gets shifted from dark blue to cyan region. It has been shown that the MoS₂ has excellent efficacy in removing different textile dyes like Bengal rose, malachite green, methyl orange or rhodamine B and thus when it is combined with ZnO the removal efficiency of the ZnO increases significantly. It has also been shown that for pure MoS₂ adsorption is the key mechanism of the dye removal whereas for pure ZnO photo-catalysis is the major contribution for the removal. In case of the hybrid sample, thus synergistic effect of the two processes gives the best result and in most of the cases over 90 % removal was achieved within 15 minutes only.

To achieve this goal, a comprehensive use case (UC) collection methodology has been developed. The methodology is based on the collection and analysis of use cases for research workflows and data therein provided by the researchers working in the field of catalysis. The proposed methodology includes detailed guidelines for the information collected within a particular UC, ensuring that it is relevant, accurate and complete. The collected UC data are then evaluated based on established criteria for data and metadata quality. Any identified issues are addressed through the collaboration with the respective researchers, to ensure that the use cases meet the required standards. The collected use cases are then standardized, which in particular includes mapping the data and metadata to relevant ontologies and vocabularies, as well as ensuring consistency across different use cases. The standardization process is coupled with a semantic representation of metadata within the Resource Description Framework (RDF) followed by appropriate extension of the ontology being developed. The semantic framework allows for easy integration and cross-referencing of data. It ensures that the data are machine-readable, linked, and can be easily integrated with other datasets, making it more discoverable and useful for the catalysis research community. Within the project, special attention is paid on the collection of UCs from different fields, including biocatalysis, homogeneous catalysis, and heterogeneous catalysis.

The use of water as well as aqueous isopropanol as solvent using a novel robust catalyst was targeted in this work. This work showed that a nickel-alumina catalyst supported on hexagonal mesoporous silica (HMS) can effectively transform lignocellulose-derived xylose fraction to the value-added product, xylitol. HMS support was modified by simultaneous impregnating nickel (6 wt%) and alumina (4 wt%) which was subsequently oxidized. The catalyst was evaluated for its hydrogenation ability of xylose to xylitol. Identical reactions were carried out with HMS, alumina, Al/HMS and Ni/HMS to ascertain the activity of each moiety in the reaction. Before the reaction, the catalyst was reduced in a tubular reactor in the presence of hydrogen. Reaction parameters such as speed of agitation, type of precursor, metal loading, catalyst loading, solvent, concentration and temperature were studied and optimized. At 130℃ and 20 bar H₂, initial xylose concentration of 0.2 mmol/mL with water: isopropanol (1:1 v/v) mixture as solvent, conversion of xylose was found to be 98 % with a selectivity of 97 % towards xylitol.
