Photocatalytic and Electrochemical Synthesis of Biofuel via Efficient Valorization of Biomass

Abstract The excessive use of fossil fuels has significantly increased environmental stress, driving the need for green, sustainable biofuel alternatives. Innovations in photocatalysis (PC), electrocatalysis (EC), and their synergistic approaches, like photothermal catalysis (PTC), photo‐enzymatic catalysis (PENC), and photoelectrocatalysis (PEC), offer advanced methods for biomass conversion into biofuels, surpassing traditional limitations. However, comprehensive research on these conversion processes is still lacking. This review aims to systematically analyze recent progress in catalytic strategies for biomass‐to‐biofuel conversion. It first describes the characteristics, types, and properties of biomass…
