Abstract
originated from the suitable amount of graphitic N and its better electrochemical properties, which significantly boosted the oxidation pathway to MA. This work provides a robust and selective metal-free electrocatalyst for the sustainable synthesis of MA from oxidation of biomass-derived furan compounds.
