Robust Formate Electrosynthesis from Mixed Biomass Polyols by a Direct Carbon–Carbon Bond Cleavage Route

with glycerol as the substrate. This route further enables robust electrosynthesis of the formate derivative, higher-valued potassium dimethylate, from biomass-derived mixed polyols, with high cost-effectiveness for biomass upcycling in industrial applications. This work provides guidelines in designing new electrocatalytic pathways for the sustainable electrosynthesis of value-added chemicals from waste biomass resources.
