Nickel Iron Diselenide for Highly Efficient and Selective Electrocatalytic Conversion of Methanol to Formate

Abstract: The electro‐oxidation of methanol to formate is an interesting example of the potential use of renewable energies to add value to a biosourced chemical commodity. Additionally, methanol electro‐oxidation can replace the sluggish oxygen evolution reaction when coupled to hydrogen evolution or to the electroreduction of other biomass‐derived intermediates. But the cost‐effective realization of these reaction schemes requires the development of efficient and low‐cost electrocatalysts. Here, a noble metal‐free cat… Show more

“…The efficient oxidation of methanol (MeOH) and ethanol (EtOH) as fuels in alkaline fuel cells could spur the commercialization of this type of device. [ 15–17 ] Besides, their selective electro‐oxidative transformation can produce valuable chemicals. The electrocatalytic oxidations of benzyl alcohol and benzylamine are of particular interest because they produce valuable chemicals: benzoic acid serves as a food preservative; N ‐benzylidenebenzylamine and nitriles are industrially relevant chemicals in the pharma and agro‐ and fine‐chemical industries.…”

“…Currently, the industrial-scale production of formate/formic acid involves the combination of CO with methanol at 80 °C and 40 atm followed by the subsequent hydrolysis of the resulting methyl formate, which is an energy and cost-intensive process. This results in a fourfold higher price per metric ton of formate compared to methanol [8][9][10] . Similarly, acetic acid/ acetate is also a very important commodity chemical and finds a wide range of industrial applications 11 .…”
