Selective Electroreductive Amination of 5-HMF Enabled by Facet-Engineered Frustrated Lewis Pair-Type Oxygen Vacancies on CeO2 Nanocrystals.
Electrocatalytic construction of C─N bonds from biomass-derived platform molecules offers a sustainable route to value-added nitrogen-containing chemicals. In particular, the electrocatalytic reductive amination (ERA) of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF) with ethanolamine provides a green alternative to conventional redu...
