Radical-mediated electrocatalytic dimerization of furfural for bio-jet precursor over non-metallic catalysts with nitrogen-doped carbonaceous matrix

Key Points

• Furfural dimerization produces a bio-jet precursor efficiently using non-metallic catalysts.
• Electrocatalytic dimerization achieved a conversion rate of 85% under optimal conditions.
• Assessment of nitrogen-doped carbon matrices featured in the innovative catalyst design.
• The findings indicate a sustainable pathway for biofuel production but require real-world testing.
