Abstract Cascade electrochemical‐chemical coupling (CECC) involves sequential electrochemical and chemical reactions, using intermediates from processes as reactants for subsequent transformations to enhance the efficiency selectivity sustainable syntheses of complex chemicals. Despite its economic environmental benefits, CECC still faces multiple challenges, including a low utilization intermediate reactants, competitive side difficulties in design scale‐up catalysts, leading yield. To ensure economically viable CECC, it is imperative rationally develop cost‐efficient high‐performance such carbon‐based metal‐free electrocatalysts (C‐MFECs) certain carbon‐supported transition metal with high activity atomic precision desirable products. In this review, an overview recent advancements doping C‐MFECs provided enhancing their catalytic toward CECC. Three major systems based on are discussed; they hydrogen peroxide coupling, carbon dioxide upgrading, redox‐mediated systems. Current challenges future perspectives emerging field also addressed.
