Abstract

Electrochemical alcohol oxidation is considered a promising alternative to the oxygen evolution reaction due to the production of high-value products and early onset potential. Herein, we analyze the different reactivities of NiOOH and Cu(OH)₂toward the electrochemical oxidation of alcohol and aldehyde on the furan ring and utilize their characteristics synergistically to enhance the performance of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) to 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) conversion. We discovered that Cu(OH)₂has higher reactivity for the oxidation of aldehyde to carboxylic acid than NiOOH, while NiOOH exhibited excellent reactivity toward the oxidation of alcohol to aldehyde. Furthermore, NiOOH-Cu(OH)₂mixed electrodes showed higher activity and faster conversion of HMF to FDCA than individual NiOOH or Cu(OH)₂electrodes. The alcohol oxidation of HMF is initiated by NiOOH, and Cu(OH)₂quickly converts the remaining aldehydes to carboxylic acids at the NiOOH/Cu(OH)₂interface. Further enhancement of the HMF oxidation kinetics of NiOOH/Cu(OH)₂was achieved by preparing a nanofoam structure comprising nanoscale pores and nanodendritic frames, showing instantaneous conversion to FDCA without producing unreacted intermediates.
