Abstract

In situ synthesis of NixSey–NiFe LDH core–shell nanoarrays on nickel foam for electrochemical oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural and furfural.

Recent Advances on Transition‐Metal‐Based Layered Double Hydroxides Nanosheets for Electrocatalytic Energy Conversion

“…For example, Fan et al assembled NiFe-LDHs nanosheets on Ni x Se y nanowire arrays to construct core-shell Ni x Se y -NiFe-LDHs electrocatalyst for Fur electro-oxidation. [195] As displayed in Figure 17c, the conversion of Fur was complete after passing 116 C to obtain FurAc yield of 99.7% and FE of 99.5% on this core-shell electrocatalyst. Afterward, the FurAc yield and FE exhibited inconspicuous degradation after six cycles, demonstrating robust stability (Figure 17d).…”

Alloy‐Driven Efficient Electrocatalytic Oxidation of Biomass‐Derived 5‐Hydroxymethylfurfural towards 2,5‐Furandicarboxylic Acid: A Review

“…Similarly, Fan and co‐workers [77] prepared a 3D core–shell Ni x Se y ‐NiFe LDH@NF electrocatalyst for HMF oxidation using in‐situ growth mode and obtained 99.6 % HMF conversion, 99.3 % FDCA yield, and 98.9 % FE, showing a highly desirable catalytic effect. The high catalytic efficiency was caused by the unique structure of the catalyst, which was revealed by SEM in Figure 12.…”

Efficient synthesis of 5-methyl-2-furancarboxylic acid via selective hydrogenolysis of bio-renewable 5-hydroxymethyl-2-furancarboxylic acid on Pd/C catalysts at ambient temperature

“…1–6 Moreover, it can also be a potential substitute for 2-furoic acid as a plasticizer, flavoring agent and food preservative. 7–9…”

“…[1][2][3][4][5][6] Moreover, it can also be a potential substitute for 2-furoic acid as a plasticizer, flavoring agent and food preservative. [7][8][9] Currently, carboxylation of methyl furan with CO 2 and methylation of 2-furoic acid with iodomethane have been used for the synthesis of MFA in organic laboratories. 10 However, these methods require stoichiometric and hazardous reactants (e.g.…”
