Nitrogen-doped nickel-molybdenum oxide as a highly efficient electrocatalyst for benzyl alcohol oxidation

Abstract

Replacing sluggish oxygen evolution reaction (OER) with electrocatalytic alcohols oxidation to construct hybrid water electrolysis systems is more economically attractive than conventional water splitting. Meanwhile, the electrooxidation of benzyl alcohol...

Non-quantum nanostructure-enabled hot carrier generation for enhancive photoelectrocatalytic oxidation of bio-alcohol in water coupled with hydrogen evolution

“…For the oxidation of BA, the use of photocatalytic, thermocatalytic, and electrocatalytic methods mostly produced benzaldehyde (BAD) rather than BEN (Table S1†). 32–42…”

“…For the oxidation of BA, the use of photocatalytic, thermocatalytic, and electrocatalytic methods mostly produced benzaldehyde (BAD) rather than BEN (Table S1 †). [32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42] Additionally, the oxidation of BA using the PEC conversion method cannot produce BEN, and the conversion rate is relatively lower. 43 S1, † the photoelectrode Mo-BVO-TiCoNO-CoFeO xy showed the capability of converting BA to BEN in 10 h with high selectivity of >99.0% at a conversion of 98.7% in 1.48 V vs. RHE, and the kinetic constant (k) was 0.49 h −1 .…”

Circumventing Challenges: Design of Anodic Electrocatalysts for Hybrid Water Electrolysis Systems

“…With the incorporation of N atoms, nickel‐molybdenum oxide (N‐Mo‐Ni/NF) synthesized through a one‐step hydrothermal method could selectively catalyze BA to benzoic acid in alkaline conditions. [ 73 ] With 0.1 m BA solution, a current density of 100 mA cm −2 required only 1.338 V RHE , 252 mV lower than that for conventional water electrolysis. The selectivity to benzoic acid was 98.2% with a high Faradaic efficiency of 98.7%.…”

Enhanced Benzyl Alcohol Oxidation Coupled with Hydrogen Evolution by Co3O4@SS Electrocatalytic Membrane Structured Reactor via Flow-Through Operation

“…Furthermore, the organic acid produced from alcohol oxidation is high value, which would reduce the cost of hydrogen production by water electrolysis. As the oxidation product of benzyl alcohol, benzoic acid is widely used in food preservation, chemical, and pharmaceutical fields. − Electrochemical reforming of benzyl alcohol coupled with hydrogen generation has become one of the effective ways for the coproduction of green hydrogen and benzoic acid.…”
