Furfural and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural stand out as bridges connecting biomass raw materials
to the biorefinery industry. Their reductive transformations by hydroconversion are key …

The use of electricity instead of stoichiometric amounts of oxidizers or reducing agents in
synthesis is very appealing for economic and ecological reasons, and represents a major …

In the movement to decarbonize our economy and move away from fossil fuels we will need
to harness the waste products of our activities, such as waste lignocellulose, methane, and …

Muconic acid is a bioprivileged molecule that can be converted into direct replacement
chemicals for incumbent petrochemicals and performance-advantaged bioproducts. In this …

The critical aspects of the corrosion of metal electrodes in cathodic reductions are covered.
We discuss the involved mechanisms including alloying with alkali metals, cathodic etching …

The past decade has seen a substantial increase in successful examples of the combination
of chemo-and biocatalysis for multistep syntheses. This is driven by obvious advantages …

Bioelectrocatalysis is a green, sustainable, efficient method to produce value-added
