| Abstract | Lignocellulosic biomass is composed of cellulosic and hemicellulosic components. Degradation of these components leads to short-chain aqueous soluble glucan with β-1,4-glycosidic linkages and its further degradation produces hexose and pentose sugars. Dehydration of these sugar units result in building blocks (platform chemicals) which upon further chemical transformation produces fine chemicals and liquid fuels. Materials with considerable surface acidity and suitable microstructure play crucial roles as catalysts at different steps of the biomass transformation to chemicals and fuels. This review focuses on explaining the roles of the catalytic materials that are employed for improving selectivity of biomass conversions. The article also advances issues such as the morphology and preparation method of materials as a function of their performance. In attempt to keep the focus on materials aspects, mechanistic aspects of biomass conversion has also been discussed in relevant cases. Apart from conventional acidic materials, applications of recently introduced new materials with functionalized surfaces are highlighted with suitable examples. Factors which govern solid materials to perform as catalysts for biomass conversion have been expanded to inform readers with a possible correlation of the reactivity patterns of the materials for different substrates and their macro- and micro-structures. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
