Innovative catalytic mechanism for selective biomass oxidation: The schematic illustrates the in-situ generation of surface-bound hydroxyl radicals on low-valence copper (Cu⁰/Cu⁺) sites, enabling highly selective carbonyl oxidation using only ambient air and water. This green catalytic pathway eliminates the need for traditional oxidants and represents a significant advancement in sustainable biomass conversion.
