Article Abstract
Replacing the anodic oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in water splitting with 5-hydroxymethylfurfural oxidation reaction (HMFOR) can not only reduce the energy required for hydrogen production but also yield the valuable chemical 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA). Co-based catalysts are known to be efficient for HMFOR, with high-valent Co being recognized as the main active component. However, efficiently promoting the oxidation of Co to produce high-valent reactive species remains a challenge. In this study, Ni-doped CoTe (CoNiTe) nanorods were prepared as efficient catalysts for HMFOR, achieving a high HMFOR current density of 65.3 mA cm at 1.50 V. Even after undergoing five successive electrolysis processes, the Faradaic efficiency (FE) remained at approximately 90.7 %, showing robust electrochemical durability. Mechanistic studies indicated that Ni doping changes the electronic configuration of Co, enhancing its charge transfer rate and facilitating the oxidation of Co to high-valent CoO species. This work reveals the effect of Ni doping on the reconfiguration of the active phase during HMFOR.

Electrocatalytic coupling of nitrate reduction (NORR) to ammonia with 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) oxidation to 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) enables simultaneous wastewater remediation and biomass valorization. However, developing efficient bifunctional electrocatalysts for these multiproton-coupled electron transfer reactions remains challenging as conventional single-active-site catalysts inherently suffer from linear scaling relationships between intermediates and adsorption energies, particularly sluggish proton transfer. To address this, we engineered a triphasic N-doped CuO@CoO@Ni(OH) heterostructure with a gradient built-in electric field (BIEF), which synergistically enhances interfacial charge polarization and accelerates proton transport through dynamic coupling effects in both reactions: sufficient *H supply for NORR and fast Ni(OH)/NiOOH redox cycling during HMF oxidation (HMFOR), thus achieving unprecedented bifunctional performance: at - 0.

2,5-Furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA), synthesized via selective oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), is a structural analog to petroleum-derived terephthalic acid (PTA) and a key precursor for renewable polyesters like polyethylene furanoate (PEF). Recent advances in electrocatalytic HMF oxidation (HMFOR) enable efficient synthesis under mild conditions, aligning with renewable energy integration. In this work, catalysts with oxygen-rich vacancies by growing Ce, V bimetallic-dopsynthesizeded Ni(OH) nanosheets in situ on nickel foam for electrocatalytic HMF oxidation to FDCA are prepared.

Electrochemical organic oxidation has shown great industrial potential due to its green, low-carbon, and energy-efficient advantages. However, the competing oxygen evolution reaction (OER) severely impacts the faradaic efficiency and conversion rate of organic oxidation reactions. In this work, we report a method that can promote the oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMFOR) while suppressing the OER, which is achieved by etching NiMnFe-LDH with ,-dimethylacetamide (DMF), resulting in the formation of numerous cationic defects.

2,5-Furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA), prepared via the 5-hydroxymethylfurfural electro-oxidation reaction (HMFOR), is a promising bio-based plastic monomer for biodegradable polymer production. However, the sluggish hydroxyl oxidation kinetics inhibit the HMFOR efficiency. In this study, CuOH is grown on Cu foam as a model electrocatalyst to investigate the active phases of the Cu-based catalyst in the HMFOR, elucidate their oxidation mechanisms and adsorption behaviors at varying potentials, and ultimately to reveal the potential-regulated selectivity of the Cu-based catalyst.
