	&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(21, 21, 21); font-family: Roboto, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;&quot;&gt;Widespread use of batteries across the globe generates a huge amount of waste. This work is the first to report spent dry cell (Zn-Carbon) battery cathode material (BCM-2) as a heterogeneous catalyst for selective synthesis of fine chemical 2,5-diformylfuran (DFF). Cathode material was easily separated from spent batteries, and acid leached followed by calcination to obtain black powder that was denoted as BCM-2. The catalyst was characterized using various techniques such as P-XRD, EDAX, SEM, HR-TEM, TGA, XPS, and BET analysis. Superior catalytic activity was shown by the catalyst for selective formation of DFF using molecular O&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; outline: none; line-height: 0; position: relative; vertical-align: baseline; bottom: -0.25em; color: rgb(21, 21, 21); font-family: Roboto, arial, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;2&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(21, 21, 21); font-family: Roboto, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;as a sole oxidant. The catalyst was found to give excellent HMF conversion of 97% with 98% high selectivity of DFF. The BCM-2 catalyst was easily recycled and reused without any significant loss in its catalytic activity. This is one of the best examples for a sustainable, cost-effective, and highly efficient catalytic system for the synthesis of the value-added chemical DFF.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
