Abstract
The electrocatalytic hydrogenation (ECH) of furfural (FF) to furfuryl alcohol, which does not require additional hydrogen or high pressure, is a green and promising production route. In this study, we explore the effects of anions on FF ECH in two buffer electrolytes (KHCO3 and phosphate-buffered saline [PBS]). Anions influence the yield of furfuryl alcohol through molecular activation and adsorption. Molecular dynamics simulations show that bicarbonate is present in the first shell layer of the FF molecule and induces strong hydrogen bonding interactions. In contrast, hydrogen phosphate is present only in the second shell layer, resulting in weak hydrogen bonding interactions. Owing to the interfacial anions and hydrogen bonding, FF molecules exhibit strong flat adsorption on the electrode surface in the KHCO3 solution, while weak adsorption is observed in the PBS solution, as confirmed by operando synchrotron-radiation Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy and in situ Raman spectroscopy. Density-functional theory calculations reveal that the overall anionic hydrogen bonding network promotes the activation of the carbonyl group in the FF molecule in KHCO3, whereas electrophilic activity is inhibited in PBS. Consequently, FF ECH demonstrates much faster kinetics in KHCO3, while it exhibits sluggish ECH kinetics and a severe hydrogen evolution reaction in PBS. This work introduces a new strategy to optimize the catalytic process through the modulation of the microenvironment.

Abstract
Electroredox of organics provides a promising and green approach to producing value-added chemicals. However, it remains a grand challenge to achieve high selectivity of desired products simultaneously at two electrodes, especially for non-isoelectronic transfer reactions. Here a porous heterostructure of Mo2C@Co-NC is successfully fabricated, where subnanometre β-Mo2C clusters (<1 nm, ≈10 wt%) are confined inside porous Co, N-doped carbon using metalorganic frameworks. It is found that Co species not only promote the formation of β-Mo2C but also can prevent it from oxidation by constructing the heterojunctions. As noted, the heterostructure achieves >96% yield and 92% Faradaic efficiency (FE) for aldehydes in anodic alcohol oxidation, as well as >99.9% yield and 96% FE for amines in cathodal nitrocompounds reduction in 1.0 M KOH. Precise control of the reaction kinetics of two half-reactions by the electronic interaction between β-Mo2C and Co is a crucial adjective. Density functional theory (DFT) gives in-depth mechanistic insight into the high aldehyde selectivity. The work guides authors to reveal the electrooxidation nature of Mo2C at a subnanometer level. It is anticipated that the strategy will provide new insights into the design of highly effective bifunctional electrocatalysts for the coproduction of more complex fine chemicals.

Abstract
The unspecific peroxygenase (UPO) from Agrocybe aegerita (rAaeUPO-PaDa-I-H) is an effective and practical biocatalyst for the oxidative expansion of furfuryl alcohols/amines on a preparative scale, using the Achmatowicz and aza-Achmatowicz reaction. The high activity and stability of the enzyme, which can be produced on a large scale as an air-stable lyophilised powder, renders it a versatile and scalable biocatalyst for the preparation of synthetically valuable 6-hydroxypyranones and dihydropiperidinones. In several cases, the biotransformation out-performed the analogous chemo-catalysed process, and operates under milder and greener reaction conditions.

Abstract
In both the manufacturing and chemical industries, benzoquinone is a crucial chemical product. A perfect and economical method for making benzoquinone is the electrochemical oxidation of phenol, thanks to the traditional thermal catalytic oxidation of phenol process requires high cost, serious pollution and harsh reaction conditions. Here, a unique heterostructure electrocatalyst on nickel foam (NF) consisting of nickel sulfide and nickel oxide (Ni9S8-Ni15O16/NF) was produced, and this catalyst exhibited a low overpotential (1.35 V vs. RHE) and prominent selectivity (99 %) for electrochemical phenol oxidation reaction (EOP). Ni9S8-Ni15O16/NF is beneficial for lowering the reaction energy barrier and boosting reactivity in the EOP process according to density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Additionally, an alkali/acid hybrid flow cell was successfully established by connecting Ni9S8-Ni15O16/NF and commercial RuIr/Ti in series to catalyze phenol oxidation in an alkaline medium and hydrogen evolution in an acid medium, respectively. A cell voltage of only 0.60 V was applied to produce a current density of 10 mA cm-2. Meanwhile, the system continued to operate at 0.90 V for 12 days, showing remarkable long-term stability. The unique configuration of the acid-base hybrid flow cell electrolyzer provides valuable guidance for the efficient and environmentally friendly electrooxidation of phenol to benzoquinone.

Abstract
Alcohol is ubiquitous with unparalleled structural diversity and thus has wide applications as a native functional group in organic synthesis. It is highly prevalent among biomolecules and offers promising opportunities for the development of chemical libraries. Over the last decade, alcohol has been extensively used as an environmentally friendly chemical for numerous organic transformations. In this review, we collectively discuss the utilisation of alcohol from 2015 to 2023 in various organic transformations and their application toward intermediates of drugs, drug derivatives and natural product-like molecules. Notable features discussed are as follows: (i) sustainable approaches for C-X alkylation (X = C, N, or O) including O-phosphorylation of alcohols, (ii) newer strategies using methanol as a methylating reagent, (iii) allylation of alkenes and alkynes including allylic trifluoromethylations, (iv) alkenylation of N-heterocycles, ketones, sulfones, and ylides towards the synthesis of drug-like molecules, (v) cyclisation and annulation to pharmaceutically active molecules, and (vi) coupling of alcohols with aryl halides or triflates, aryl cyanide and olefins to access drug-like molecules. We summarise the synthesis of over 100 drugs via several approaches, where alcohol was used as one of the potential coupling partners. Additionally, a library of molecules consisting over 60 fatty acids or steroid motifs is documented for late-stage functionalisation including the challenges and opportunities for harnessing alcohols as renewable resources.

Abstract
The difference between solution pH and local pH near an electrode surface greatly determines the electrocatalytic performance. However, there is still a lack of a facile and universal method for the local pH detection of various electrode reactions, leaving the origin of local pH changes unclear. Herein, by using phosphate species in phosphate buffer solution (PBS) as the pH probe, we demonstrate a universal local pH detection strategy through in situ Raman spectroscopy for various electrode reactions. Oxygen evolution is chosen as the example to detect the potential-dependent local pH change. Then the strategy extends to nitrate reduction, nitrobenzene reduction, and benzylamine oxidation. By comparing the local pH changes in different reactions, we reveal that the local pH change is strongly dependent on the reaction current, the ability of the system to replenish the local H+/OH-, and the number of H+/OH- per electron transfer of the electrode reaction.

Abstract
H2 O2 photosynthesis coupled with biomass valorization can not only maximize the energy utilization but also realize the production of value-added products. Here, a series of COFs (i.e. Cu3 -BT-COF, Cu3 -pT-COF and TFP-BT-COF) with regulated redox molecular junctions have been prepared to study H2 O2 photosynthesis coupled with furfuryl alcohol (FFA) photo-oxidation to furoic acid (FA). The FA generation efficiency of Cu3 -BT-COF was found to be 575 mM g-1 (conversion ≈100 % and selectivity >99 %) and the H2 O2 production rate can reach up to 187 000 μM g-1 , which is much higher than Cu3 -pT-COF, TFP-BT-COF and its monomers. As shown by theoretical calculations, the covalent coupling of the Cu cluster and the thiazole group can promote charge transfer, substrate activation and FFA dehydrogenation, thus boosting both the kinetics of H2 O2 production and FFA photo-oxidation to increase the efficiency. This is the first report about COFs for H2 O2 photosynthesis coupled with biomass valorization, which might facilitate the exploration of porous-crystalline catalysts in this field.

Abstract
The selective production of C4 bulk chemicals from biomass is significant to replace the traditional method from petroleum resource. In this work, the succinic anhydride (SAN) is directly prepared from bio-based furanic platform compounds utilizing the visible light-induced oxygenation process, in which m-tetraphenyl porphyrin (H2TPP) and molecular oxygen was employed as the photocatalyst and terminal oxidant, respectively. Under optimal conditions, a 99.9% conversion with 97.8% selectivity of SAN was obtained from furoic acid (FAC) at room temperature. Moreover, the transformation of furfural and furfuryl alcohol with this system can also generate SAN, and the product selectivity is controllable by tuning light intensity and time. Furthermore, the EPR detection, isotope labeling, and control experiments exhibited that the generation of singlet oxygen plays a crucial role and 5-hydroxy-2(5H)-furanone is the main intermediate during the reaction. Finally, a possible reaction mechanism for the production of SAN from furanic compound is proposed.

Abstract
Transition metal oxides (TMOs) and actinide ones (AnOs) have been widely applied in catalytic reactions due to their excellent physicochemical properties. However, the reaction pathway and mechanism, especially involving TM–An heterometallic centers, remain underexplored. In this respect, relativistic density functional theory (DFT) was used to examine uranium-doped zinc, copper, and nickel oxides for their catalytic activity toward the conversion of furfural to furfuryl alcohol. A comparison was made with their undoped TMOs. It was found that the three TMOs were capable of catalyzing the reaction, where the free energies of adsorption, hydrogenation, and desorption fell between −33.93 and 45.00 kJ/mol. The uranium doping extremely strengthened the adsorption of CuO-U and NiO-U toward furfural, making hydrogenation or desorption much harder. Intriguingly, ZnO-U showed the best catalytic performance among all six catalyst candidates, as its three reaction energies were very small (−10.54–8.12 kJ/mol). The reaction process and mechanism were further addressed in terms of the geometrical, bonding, charge, and electronic properties.

Abstract
As a renewable and sustainable source for energy, environment, and biomedical applications, microalgae and microalgal biodiesel have attracted great attention. However, their applications are confined due to the cost-efficiency of microalgal mass production. One-step strategy and continuous culturing systems could be solutions. However, current studies for optimization throughout microalgae-based biofuel production pipelines are generally derived from the batch culture process. Better tools are needed to study algal growth kinetics in continuous systems. A microfluidic chemostatic bioreactor was presented here, providing low-bioadhesive cultivations for algae in a cooperative environment of gas, nutrition, and temperature (GNT) involved with high throughput. The chip was used to mimic the continuous culture environment of bioreactors. It allowed simultaneously studying of 8 × 8 different chemostatic conditions on algal growth and oil production in parallel on a 7 × 7 cm2 footprint. On-chip experiments of batch and continuous cultures of Chlorella. sp. were performed to study growth and lipid accumulation under different nitrogen concentrations. The results demonstrated that microalgal cultures can be regulated to grow and accumulate lipids concurrently, thus enhancing lipid productivity in one step. The developed on-chip culturing condition screening, which was more suitable for continuous bioreactor, was achieved at a half shorter time, 64-times higher throughput, and less reagent consumption. It could be used to establish chemostat cultures in continuous bioreactors which can dramatically accelerate the development of renewable and sustainable algal for CO2 fixation and biosynthesis and related systems for advanced sustainable energy, food, pharmacy, and agriculture with enormous social and ecological benefits.

Abstract
Replacing oxygen evolution reaction (OER) by electrooxidations of organic compounds has been considered as a promising approach to enhance the energy conversion efficiency of the electrolytic water splitting proces. Developing efficient electrocatalysts with low potentials and high current densities is crucial for the large-scale productions of H2 and other value-added chemicals. Herein, non-noble metal electrocatalysts Co-doped Ni3 S2 self-supported on a Ni foam (NF) substrate are prepared and used as catalysts for 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) oxidation reaction (HMFOR) under alkaline aqueous conditions. For HMFOR, the Co0.4 NiS@NF electode achieves an extremely low onset potential of 0.9 V versus reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE) and records a large current density of 497 mA cm-2 at 1.45 V versus RHE for HMFOR. During the HMFOR-assisted H2 production, the yield rates of 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) and H2 in a 10 mL electrolyte containing 10 × 10-3 M HMF are 330.4 µmol cm-2 h-1 and 1000 µmol cm-2 h-1 , respectively. The Co0.4 NiS@NF electrocatalyst displays a good cycling durability toward HMFOR and can be used for the electrooxidation of other biomass-derived chemicals. The findings present a facile route based on heteroatom doping to fabricate high-performance catalyses that can facilitate the industrial-level H2 production by coupling the conventional HER cathodic processes with HMFOR.
