Abstract
Converting biomass into high value-added compounds has attracted great attention for solving fossil fuel consumption and global warming. 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) has been considered as a versatile biomass-derived building block that can be used to synthesize a variety of sustainable fuels and chemicals. Among these derivatives, 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) is a desirable alternative to petroleum-derived terephthalic acid for the synthesis of biodegradable polyesters. Herein, to fully understand the current development of the catalytic conversion of biomass to FDCA, a comprehensive review of the catalytic conversion of cellulose biomass to HMF and the oxidation of HMF to FDCA is presented. Moreover, future research directions and general trends of using biomass for FDCA production are also proposed.

Summary
In the 20th century, non-renewable resources such as petroleum and fossils made important contributions to economic and social development, and currently, people are becoming increasingly dependent on non-renewable resources such as petroleum. The first article published in 1951 by Newth et al on the production of furan from carbohydrates led researchers to gradually increase interest in the production of bio-based chemicals through a catalytic process [5]. Among these bio-derived molecules, 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) has gained increased attention because of its chemical properties as it can produce various polymers (Figure 1). 2025, FDCA is predicted to reach a market value of approximately work materials [8]. The latest achievements in the direct production of FDCA from biomass are introduced
