Abstract

The utilization of renewable energy to drive the electrocatalytic transformation of biomass into high-value chemicals has emerged as one of the effective tactics for sustainable energy utilization and chemical green production. However, developing efficient catalysts is a considerable challenge due to the complexity of biomass electrocatalytic conversion. Single-atom catalysts demonstrate outstanding performance in electrocatalytic reactions because of the maximized atom utilization, well-defined structure, and distinctive electronic properties. This review first introduces the advances in the metal-support interactions and characterization techniques of SACs. Recent research advances of SACs in electrocatalytic biomass derivatives conversion are further systematically summarized, including anodic oxidation and cleavage bond reactions of alcohols (monohydric and polyhydric), aldehydes, and lignin; and cathodic hydrogenation of aldehydes (5-hydroxymethylfurfural and furfural) and electrocatalytic biomass hydrogenation mediated CN coupling for the preparation of amino acids and oximes. Finally, the perspectives and challenges within the domain of SACs for the advanced electrocatalytic conversion of biomass are proposed. This review offers guidance for the rational design and precise preparation of SACs for the conversion of biomass.

期刊介绍： Coordination Chemistry Reviews offers rapid publication of review articles on current and significant topics in coordination chemistry, encompassing organometallic, supramolecular, theoretical, and bioinorganic chemistry. It also covers catalysis, materials chemistry, and metal-organic frameworks from a coordination chemistry perspective. Reviews summarize recent developments or discuss specific techniques, welcoming contributions from both established and emerging researchers. The journal releases special issues on timely subjects, including those featuring contributions from specific regions or conferences. Occasional full-length book articles are also featured. Additionally, special volumes cover annual reviews of main group chemistry, transition metal group chemistry, and organometallic chemistry. These comprehensive reviews are vital resources for those engaged in coordination chemistry, further establishing Coordination Chemistry Reviews as a hub for insightful surveys in inorganic and physical inorganic chemistry.
