Cover Story: Biodiesel made from renewable triglycerides (TGs) is a low-emission fuel alternative to diesel. Compared to homogeneous bases, solid base catalysts are more attractive due to their lower environmental impact and simpler purification processes. However, improving the stability and activity of solid base catalysts is challenging. Basic zeolites, particularly two-dimensional zeolites, are promising solid base catalysts for the transesterification of TGs due to their high surface area, superior stability, and tunable basicity. This review presents recent advancements in the synthesis, characterization, and catalytic performance of basic zeolites for TG transesterification. It highlights challenges and prospects for developing basic zeolites for biodiesel production via transesterification. View this paper
