Recent progresses in the application of cellulose, starch, alginate, gum, pectin, chitin and chitosan based (nano)catalysts in sustainable and selective oxidation reactions: A review

Exploitation of polymers as effective starting materials to produce various valuable catalysts is attracting the attention of industrial and academic researchers. Moreover, among all polymers, natural polysaccharides such as cellulose, starch, alginate, gum, pectin, chitin and chitosan have drawn the most attention in recent years due to their unique structural features and important potential applications. A lot of studies have been performed...
