Highly Effective Non‐Noble MnO2 Catalysts for 5‐Hydroxymethylfurfural Oxidation to 2,5‐Furandicarboxylic Acid

Noble metal-free catalyst or catalytic oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural into 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid are proposed in this study as a proposal to solve one of the great disadvantages of this reaction of using preferably noble metal-based catalysts. The catalytic activity of six MnO
