Nitrogen-doped graphene supported single-atom catalysts for efficient electrocatalytic oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural to to 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid: A density functional theory study Electrocatalytic oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) to 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) is a promising alternative for oxygen evolution reactions. The search for efficient catalysts has been attracting increasing scientific attention.

Is transition metal phthalocyanines active for urea synthesis via electrocatalytic coupling of CO2 and N2? Electrocatalytic coupling of CO2 and N2 to synthesize urea presents a promising approach to address global energy and environmental challenges. Despite the potential, developing an efficient catalyst capable of activating both CO2 and N2 while suppressing side reactions remains a significant challenge. Recent studies have indicated that CuPc and CoPc exhibit notable activity in this process.
