Designed TiS₂ nanosheets for efficient electrocatalytic reductive amination of biomass-derived furfurals

Abstract

Green and highly selective synthesis of organonitrogen chemicals (ONC) using renewable energy source of biomass over noble-metal free solid catalyst under common room temperature and pressure conditions is still a...

Anchoring hydroxyl intermediate on NiCo(OOH)x nanosheets to enable highly efficient electrooxidation of benzyl alcohols

“…Attention was then directed to the electrooxidation mechanism study over NiCo(OOH) x nanosheets. It had been widely accepted that Ni‐based materials catalyze nucleophilic reagent through two different mechanisms: (i) the electrochemical chemical oxidation pathway with electro‐generated ion, and (ii) the OH*‐involved oxidation pathway with free ˙OH radical 44–46 . The much enhanced electron‐transfer kinetics occurred on NiCo(OOH) x and the raised current was ascribed to the electrooxidation of BAL before the Ni 2+ electrooxidation.…”

“…It had been widely accepted that Ni-based materials catalyze nucleophilic reagent through two different mechanisms: (i) the electrochemical chemical oxidation pathway with electro-generated ion, and (ii) the OH*-involved oxidation pathway with free ˙OH radical. [44][45][46] The much enhanced electron-transfer kinetics occurred on NiCo(OOH) x and the raised current was ascribed to the electrooxidation of BAL before the Ni 2+ electrooxidation. That suggested that the adsorbed OH* instead of electro-generated Ni 3+ , may be the active species for BAL over NiCo(OOH) x nanosheets.…”

Efficient electrochemical upgradation strategies for the biomass derivative furfural

“…In addition, the electro-reductive amination of FF to form 5-(ethanolaminemethyl)furan was also realized on TiS 2 nanosheets with high conversion (>95%) and nearly 100% product selectivity. 157 These electro-reduction pathways of FF are beneficial for further expanding the product distribution.…”

Chemical transformations of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural into highly added value products: present and future

“…There are a number of potential pathways to transform HMF into fuels, fuel additives, commercial and potential products. 32,33 This review is mainly divided into the following sections: the first section involves the family of products that initially involve reactions of the aldehyde and hydroxyl groups, the following section involves removal of the aldehyde group; and the other section describes the potential polymers and chemicals generated from HMF through polymerization.
