Sustainable carbon-based catalysts for oxygen reduction-enhanced FDCA production at ultra-low cell voltage

Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: primarily lowers the reaction potential rather than directly contributing to oxidation. Notably, the tea leaf-derived carbon outperformed commercial Pt/C as a cathodic catalyst for HMFOR application, delivering a higher FDCA yield at similarly low cell voltages. Our reaction design concept demonstrates a sustainable and cost-effective approach to FDCA production by utilizing biomass-derived catalysts, reducing material costs and energy requirements while enhancing scalability and efficiency.
