Electrohydrodimerization of biomass-derived furfural generates a jet fuel precursor
Xiao Shang, Yang Yang, Yujie Sun
Abstract
A catalyst-free electrohydrodimerization route is developed to convert biomass-derived furfural to a jet fuel precursor, hydrofuroin, with high yield and excellent Faradaic efficiency in both batch and flow electrolyzers.
