Cover Story: The over-reliance on fossil fuels for chemical and energy production has resulted in uncontrollable carbon emissions that have warranted widespread concern regarding global warming. Hence, alternate renewable resources are much desired; of these, cellulose is one of the most abundant forms of lignocellulosic biomass. For a sustainable future, the electroreforming of cellulose, or its derivatives, could offer value-added chemicals and green hydrogen fuel when driven by renewable electricity. In our review paper, recent developments in both the anodic and cathodic electroreforming of cellulose and cellulose derivatives are reported together with our perspective on the challenges and future research directions of biomass electroreforming.
