Sustainable electrocatalytic platforms for biomass valorization: transforming 5-hydroxymethylfurfural into value-added chemicals with earth-abundant metal electrocatalysts

Electrocatalytic oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) offers an ecologically sustainable pathway for generating valuable chemicals, particularly 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA), which represents a promising biomass-derived alternative to petroleum-based terephthalic acid in polymer...
