The development of an active earth-abundant metal electrocatalyst for biomass-derived organic materials valorization can greatly benefit the growth of a sustainable biorefinery. Herein, we report a transition metal dichalcogenide catalyst, MoS2, as a great electrocatalytic hydrogenation catalyst in...
