Ag─S Sites Steer Furfural Electroreduction to Furfuryl Alcohol

ABSTRACT The electrochemical upgrading of furfural (FF), a biomass‐derived platform molecule, using renewable electricity offers a promising route toward green and sustainable chemical synthesis. However, achieving high selectivity toward hydrogenated products, such as furfuryl a...

Effects of Polyaromatic Film Interfaces on Cu Catalysts for Selective Electrochemical CO2 Reduction

Abstract Electrochemical CO2 reduction (CO2RR) offers a sustainable pathway to convert CO2 into energy-dense fuels and value-added chemicals, addressing both climate and energy storage challenges. This study investigates the effect of polyaromatic film (PAF) coatings on Cu-based...

Layered Nickel–HHTP Networks for Efficient Chemiresistive Sensing of CH 4 and CO 2

ABSTRACT The synthesis and single‐crystal structural elucidation of Ni‐HHTP are reported for the first time, achieved from crystals of sufficient size for electron diffraction analysis. These studies reveal that the crystal structure of Ni‐HHTP alternates between radical‐rich and...
