Decoupled Molecular Motifs and Supramolecular Dimers for Highly Efficient FDCA Synthesis from Neutral Biomass.
Solar-driven biomass valorization is pivotal for defossilizing the chemical industry. The oxidation of abundant, low-cost 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) to 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA)─a key monomer for next-generation bioplastics─is a long-sought goal yet hampered by sluggish kinetics, poor selectivity, and alkali...
