        abstract = {This review examines the integration of carboxyl-functionalized electrocatalysts in fuel cell technology, specifically focusing on their use with black liquor, a renewable byproduct from the pulp and paper industry. Given its complex mixture of organic and inorganic compounds, black liquor presents significant potential for energy production. The carboxyl functionalization improves the efficiency of electrocatalysts by enhancing their catalytic activity and selectivity, contributing to cleaner energy solutions. Additionally, the review highlights recent advancements, challenges, and future directions in leveraging this innovative approach for sustainable energy applications.},
