The electrocatalytic upcycling of biomass-derived 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) into 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid, a vital building block for bioplastics, represents a transformative approach for advancing bioeconomy. However, efficient electrocatalysis must achieve high product selectivity while simu...
