Paired electrolysis of 5‐hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) enables the concurrent production of 2,5‐furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) and 2,5‐bishydroxymethylfuran (BHMF) as polymer precursors in an energy‐efficient manner. Its practical implementation is hindered by the scarcity of paired electrodes that can operate under d...

Aqueous zinc batteries (AZBs) lack a stable anion-derived solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) on the Zn anode, resulting in severe competition between Zn deposition and the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). A conventional in-shell co-solvent coordinates strongly with Zn2+, displacing coordinated water and weakening Zn2...

Aqueous-phase reforming (APR) of biomass-derived effluent is an attractive route to renewable hydrogen, yet real, acid-rich streams reform poorly and rapidly deactivate the commercial catalysts. Herein, we propose a rational catalyst design strategy involving Pt atoms anchored on nitrogen-doped carbon and interfaced wi...
