Dr. Vieira earned his Ph.D. in Inorganic Chemistry from the Federal University of São Carlos (UFSCar, Brazil) in 2024, where his research focused on designing bifunctional catalystsniobium phosphates and acidic carbonsto convert monosaccharides into valuable chemicals such as 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), furfural, and levulinic acid.During a five-month research stay as a Ph.D. visiting student in the Multiscale Reaction Engineering (MuRE) group at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST), he developed kinetic models for the conversion of glucose into HMF and levulinic acid, as well as synthesized nickel- and cobalt-supported phosphides for hydrodenitrogenation and hydrodesulfurization reactions of bio-oil. In the second semester of 2024, he began a postdoctoral position in the LabIvo group at UFSCar, where he developed chromatographic methods to study the photocatalytic conversion of methane.Currently, Dr. José Lucas Vieira is a Postdoctoral Researcher in the MuRE group at KAUST. His work focuses on algae valorization through hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) technology, a process aimed at producing bio-oil and promoting resource circularity. In this research, Dr. Vieira is optimizing reaction conditions, developing hydroprocessing catalysts based on cost-effective metals such as Co, Ni, and Fe, and exploring methods to reuse the aqueous phase from HTL for algae cultivation.Dr. Vieira is committed to advancing sustainable chemistry solutions while fostering collaboration and innovation in the global scientific community. His work reflects a passion for addressing environmental challenges through cutting-edge research and interdisciplinary teamwork. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

Lignocellulosic biomass is the most promising renewable and green source to replace oil, and is also able to produce chemicals and fuels. One of the products obtained from it is 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), a very important intermediate in the chemical industry. It is obtained from the dehydration of monosaccharides, such as glucose and fructose, using acid catalysis. In the case of fru…
The work involves two main lines of action to develop bifunctional catalysts for the direct production of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural from glucose or cellulose. 1) mesoporous carbons will be prepared which will be modified with Brønsted acid groups. Thus, the catalysts will be subjected to modification with Lewis acid groups. Thus, the catalysts will be subjected to a partial ion exchange pro…
In a previous study, carried out by the student José Lucas Vieira, it was shown that amorphous niobium oxide, niobium phosphate and phosphated niobium oxide can perform the direct conversion of glucose into HMF, forming fructose as an intermediate. The most efficient catalysts were: NbP-2-Calc550, NbP-3-Calc550, Nb2O5-2 and Nb2O5P-2-25-48. These preliminary studies show that the catalysts…

During the present scientific initiation project, we have been studying the catalytic activity of selected niobium phosphates (obtained by the student in a previous scientific initiation project) for the conversion of glucose in HMF and xylose to furfural. The results have been also compared with the CBMM commercial niobium phosphate (NbP-CBMM). As described in the first report submitted …
