Abstract
Mesoporous single crystals have received more attention than ever in catalysis-related applications due to their unique structural functions. Despite great efforts, their progress in engineering crystallinity and composition has been remarkably slower than expected. In this manuscript, a template-free strategy is developed to prepare two-dimensional high-entropy oxide (HEO) nanoplates with single-crystallinity and penetrated mesoporosity, which further ensures precise control over high-entropy compositions and crystalline phases. Single-crystalline mesoporous HEOs (SC-MHEOs) disclose high electrocatalytic performance in 5-hydroxymethylfurfural oxidation reaction (HMFOR) for efficient biomass upgrading, with remarkable HMF conversion of 99.3% and superior 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) selectivity of 97.7%. Moreover, with nitrate reduction as coupling cathode reaction, SC-MHEO realizes concurrent electrosynthesis of value-added FDCA and ammonia in the two-electrode cell. Our study provides a powerful paradigm for producing a library of novel mesoporous single crystals for important catalysis-related applications, especially in the two-electrode cell.

Abstract
Electrocatalytic oxygenation of hydrocarbons with high selectivity has attracted much attention for its advantages in the sustainable and controllable production of oxygenated compounds with reduced greenhouse gas emissions. Especially when utilizing water as an oxygen source, by constructing a water-to-oxygenates conversion system at the anode, the environment and/or energy costs of producing oxygenated compounds and hydrogen energy can be significantly reduced. There is a broad consensus that the generation and transformation of oxygen species are among the decisive factors determining the overall efficiency of oxygenation reactions. Thus, it is necessary to elucidate the oxygen transfer process to suggest more efficient strategies for electrocatalytic oxygenation. Herein, we introduce oxygen transfer routes through redox-mediated pathways or direct oxygen transfer methods. Especially for the scarcely investigated direct oxygen transfer at the anode, we aim to detail the strategies of catalyst design targeting the efficient oxygen transfer process including activation of organic substrate, generation/adsorption of oxygen species, and transformation of oxygen species for oxygenated compounds. Based on these examples, the significance of balancing the generation and transformation of oxygen species, tuning the states of organic substrates and intermediates, and accelerating electron transfer for organic activation for direct oxygen transfer has been elucidated. Moreover, greener organic synthesis routes through heteroatom transfer and molecular fragment transfer are anticipated beyond oxygen transfer.

Abstract
The biomass-derived HMF oxidation reaction (HMFOR) holds great promise for sustainable production of fine chemicals. However, selective electrooxidation of HMF to high value-added intermediate product 5-formyl-furan-2-formic acid (FFCA) is still challenging. Herein, we report the electrocatalytic HMFOR to selectively produce FFCA using carbon paper (CP) supported polyaniline (PANI) as a catalyst. The PANI/CP non-metallic hybrid catalyst with moderate oxidation capacity exhibitsoptimized FFCA selectivity up to 76% in alkaline media, which has reached the best performance in reported literature studies. Identification and quantification of active sites for the HMFOR are further realized via linking the activity to structural compositions of PANI; both polaronic-type nitrogen (N3) and positively charged nitrogen (N4) species are proved responsible for adsorption and activation of HMF, and the intrinsic activity of N4 is higher than that of N3. The present work provides new physical-chemical insights into the mechanism of the HMFOR on non-metallic catalysts, paving the way for the establishment of structure-function relations and further development of novel electrochemical synthesis systems.

Abstract
Challenges in direct catalytic oxidation of biomass-derived aldehyde and alcohol into acid with high activity and selectivity hinder the widespread biomass application. Herein, we demonstrate that a Pd/Ni(OH)2 catalyst with abundant Ni2+-O-Pd interfaces allows electrooxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural to 2, 5-furandicarboxylic acid with a selectivity near 100 % and 2, 5-furandicarboxylic acid yield of 97.3% at 0.6 volts (versus a reversible hydrogen electrode) in 1 M KOH electrolyte under ambient conditions. The rate-determining step of the intermediate oxidation of 5-hydroxymethyl-2-furancarboxylic acid is promoted by the increased OH species and low C-H activation energy barrier at Ni2+-O-Pd interfaces. Further, the Ni2+-O-Pd interfaces prevent the agglomeration of Pd nanoparticles during the reaction, greatly improving the stability of the catalyst. In this work, Pd/Ni(OH)2 catalyst can achieve 100% 5-hydroxymethylfurfural conversion and >90% 2, 5-furandicarboxylic acid selectivity in a flow-cell and work stably over 200 h under a fixed cell voltage of 0.85 V.

Abstract
Low-cost and eco-friendly Ni/NiO heterojunctions have been theoretically proven to be the ideal candidate for stepwise electrocatalysis of alkaline hydrogen evolution reaction, attributed to the preferred OHad adsorption by incompletely filled d orbitals of NiO phase and favorable Had adsorption energy of Ni phase. Nevertheless, most Ni/NiO compounds reported so far fail to exhibit excellent catalytic activity, possibly due to the lack of efficient electron transport, limited interfacial active sites, and unregulated Nin+ ratios. To address the above bottlenecks, herein, the ultrasmall Ni/NiOx@C nanocapsules (<5 nm) are directly constructed by graphitization of four-layer Ni-based coordination polymers at record low temperatures of 400 °C. Ascribed to the accelerated electron and mass transfer by the carbon nano-onions coated around Ni/NiOx heterojunctions, the extreme rise in interfaces and Ni3+ defects with t6 2ge1 g electronic configuration owed to the ultrasmall size, the Ni/NiOx@C nanocapsules exhibit the highest catalytic activity and the lowest overpotential of η10 = 80 mV among various Ni/NiO materials (measured on the glassy carbon electrode). This work not only constructs an industrialized high-efficiency electrocatalyst toward alkaline HER, but also provides a novel strategy for the constant-scale preparation of multicomponent transition metals-based nanocrystals below 4 nm.

Unraveling the Electrocatalytic Activity in HMF Oxidation to FDCA by Fine-Tuning the Degree of NiOOH Phase Over Ni Nanoparticles Supported on Graphene Oxide. SMALL (WEINHEIM AN DER BERGSTRASSE, GERMANY) 2024; 20:e2400779.

Abstract
The development of an efficient electrocatalyst for HMF oxidation to FDCA has been in the early stages. Herein, the NiNPs/GO-Ni-foam is fabricated as an electrocatalyst for FDCA production. However, the electrocatalytic performance of the untreated NiNPs/GO-Ni-foam is observed with moderate Faradaic efficiency (FE) (73.0%) and FDCA yield (80.2%). By electrochemically treating the NiNPs/GO-Ni-foam in an alkaline solution with positive potential at different treatment durations, the degree of NiOOH on metal surfaces is changed. The distinctive electrocatalytic activity obtained when using the different NiOOH degrees allows to understand the crucial impact of NiOOH species in HMF electrooxidation. Enhancing the portion of the NiOOH phase on the electrocatalyst surface improves electrocatalytic activity in terms of FE and FDCA yield up to 94.8±4.8% and 86.9±4.1%, respectively. Interestingly, as long as the NiOOH portion on the electrocatalyst surface is preserved or regenerated, the electrocatalyst performance can be intact even after several catalytic cycles. The theoretical study via density functional theory (DFT) also agrees with the experimental observations and confirms that the NiOOH phase facilitates the electrochemical transformation of HMF to FDCA through the HMFCA pathway, and the potential limiting step of the overall reaction is the oxidation of FFCA to FDCA.

Abstract
Electrocatalytic oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) to 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA), a sustainable strategy to produce bio-based plastic monomer, is always conducted in a high-concentration alkaline solution (1.0 mol L-1 KOH) for high activity. However, such high concentration of alkali poses challenges including HMF degradation and high operation costs associated with product separation. Herein, we report a single-atom-ruthenium supported on Co3O4 (Ru1-Co3O4) as a catalyst that works efficiently in a low-concentration alkaline electrolyte (0.1 mol L-1 KOH), exhibiting a low potential of 1.191 V versus a reversible hydrogen electrode to achieve 10 mA cm-2 in 0.1 mol L-1 KOH, which outperforms previous catalysts. Electrochemical studies demonstrate that single-atom-Ru significantly enhances hydroxyl (OH-) adsorption with insufficient OH- supply, thus improving HMF oxidation. To showcase the potential of Ru1-Co3O4 catalyst, we demonstrate its high efficiency in a flow reactor under industrially relevant conditions. Eventually, techno-economic analysis shows that substitution of the conventional 1.0 mol L-1 KOH with 0.1 mol L-1 KOH electrolyte may significantly reduce the minimum selling price of FDCA by 21.0%. This work demonstrates an efficient catalyst design for electrooxidation of biomass working without using strong alkaline electrolyte that may contribute to more economic biomass electro-valorization.

Abstract
The effective coupling of photoinduced alcohol oxidation and water reduction may economically produce hydrogen (H2) from water, which is of great significance in solving the current energy crisis. This study discloses that decatungstate (DT) and especially Ni2+ions-doped DTs are active for the photoreaction of benzyl alcohol with H2O, and under 48 h of violet light illumination, the best 1%Ni-DT yields ca. 86.1% benzoic acid and a 4.65 h-1 H2 generation efficiency (turnover frequency, TOF). Also, 1%Ni-DT is efficient for the photoredox coupling reaction of aliphatic and especially aromatic primary/secondary alcohols with water. A series of characterizations support that the doubled-reduced H2DT produced from the photoreaction plays a key role in water reduction to H2, which is accelerated by the doped Ni2+. In particular, it and the derived Ni3+ may construct a Z-type catalyst for water overall splitting, thereby hoisting the acid yield and H2 amount in the later stage of the photoreaction.

Abstract
Electrocatalytic refinery from biomass-derived glycerol (GLY) to formic acid (FA), one of the most promising candidates for green H2 carriers, has driven widespread attention for its sustainability. Herein, we fabricated a series of monolithic Ni hydroxide-based electrocatalysts by a facile and in situ electrochemical method through the manipulation of local pH near the electrode. The as-synthesized Ni(OH)2@NF-1.0 affords a low working potential of 1.36 VRHE to achieve 100% GLY conversion, 98.5% FA yield, 96.1% faradaic efficiency and ∼0.13 A cm-2 of current density. Its high efficiency on a wide range of polyol substrates further underscores the promise of sustainable electro-refinery. Through a combinatory analysis via H2 temperature-programmed reduction, cyclic voltammetry and in situ Raman spectroscopy, the precise regulation of synthetic potential was discovered to be highly essential to controlling the content, phase composition and redox properties of Ni hydroxides, which significantly determine the catalytic performance. Additionally, the 'adsorption-activation' mode of ortho-di-hydroxyl groups during the C-C bond cleavage of polyols was proposed based on a series of probe reactions. This work illuminates an advanced path for designing non-noble-metal-based catalysts to facilitate electrochemical biomass valorization.

[PMID: 38451163 DOI: 10.1002/anie.202403466] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/19/2024] [Revised: 03/07/2024] [Accepted: 03/07/2024] [Indexed: 03/08/2024]
Abstract
Tailoring the selectivity at the electrode-electrolyte interface is one of the greatest challenges for heterogeneous electrocatalysis, and complementary strategies to catalyst structural designs need to be developed. Herein, we proposed a new strategy of controlling the electrocatalytic pathways by lateral adsorbate interaction for the bio-polyol oxidation. Redox-innocent 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoro-2-propanol (HFIP) anion possesses the alcoholic property that facilely adsorbs on the nickel oxyhydroxide catalyst, but is resistant to oxidation due to the electron-withdrawing trifluoromethyl groups. The alien HFIP adsorbents can compete with bio-polyols and form a mixed adsorbate layer that creates lateral adsorbate interaction via hydrogen bonding, which achieved a >2-fold enhancement of the oxalate selectivity to 55 % for the representative glycerol oxidation and can be extended to various bio-polyol substrates. Through in situ spectroscopic analysis and DFT calculation on the glycerol oxidation, we reveal that the hydrogen-bonded adsorbate interaction can effectively tune the adsorption energies and tailor the oxidation capabilities toward the targeted products. This work offers an additional perspective of tuning electrocatalytic reactions via introducing redox-innocent adsorbates to create lateral adsorbate interactions.

Abstract
Electrochemical oxidation of biomass-based 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) is an effective approach for achieving the high-value products of 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA). However, the restricted formation of high-valence metal active species for electrocatalysts results in a sluggish kinetic process of HMF oxidation reaction (HMFOR). Herein, we fabricated the Ni3+-rich cross-linked α-Ni(OH)2 nanosheets for accelerating the HMFOR through an anion-mediated strategy. It is identified that the Cl- ions with strong penetrability replace a portion of lattice oxygen atoms in α-Ni(OH)2 to form Ni-Cl bonds, contributing to breaking the inherent lattice order and generating a special Ni3+-rich structure. Owing to the promoted adsorption and accelerated oxidation of hydroxyl and aldehyde groups by the affluent Ni3+ active species, the large oxidation current density of 116.5 mA cm-2 and HMFOR kinetic constant of 0.067 min-1 has been achieved at 1.45 V (vs. RHE). By analyzing the oxidation products, the FDCA yield and Faradic efficiency are both higher than 99.25 % and 99.36 % for five successive determinations. Therefore, this work provides an insightful anion-mediated strategy for designing high-performance electrocatalysts for biomass conversion application.

Abstract
Electrosynthesis of 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) from the biomass-derived 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) is one of the most potential means to produce a bioplastic monomer. Copper oxide (CuO) catalyst shows promising prospects due to its high surface activity, conductivity, and stability, but relatively poor capability of oxygen evolution; however, the weak adsorption of substrates and the lack of facile synthetic strategies largely restrict its practical application. Here, a novel facile in situ method, alternate cycle voltammetry (denoted as c) and potentiostatic electrolysis (denoted as p), was proposed to prepare a monolithic cpc-CuO/Cu-foam electrocatalyst. Along with the increment of CuO and its surficial oxygen vacancies (OV), the FDCA yield, productivity, and Faradaic efficiency can reach up to ∼98.5%, ∼0.2 mmol/cm2, and ∼94.5% under low potential of 1.404 VRHE. Such an efficient electrosynthesis system can be easily scaled up to afford pure FDCA powders. In a combinatory analysis via electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy, H2 temperature-programmed reduction, open circuit potential, infrared spectroscopy, zeta potential, electrochemical measurement, and theoretical calculation, we found that the CuO was the active phase and OV generated on CuO surface can dramatically enhance the adsorption of *HMF and *OH (* denotes an active site), accounting for its superior FDCA production. This work offers an excellent paradigm for enhancing biomass valorization on CuO catalysts by constructing surficial defects.

Abstract
Dicarboxylic acids and cyclic ketones, such as adipic acid (AA) and cyclohexanone (CHN), are essential compounds for the chemical industry. Although their production by electrosynthesis using electricity is considered one of the most promising strategies, the application of such processes has been hampered by a lack of efficient catalysts as well as a lack of understanding of the mechanism. Herein, a series of monolithic msig/ea-NiOOH-Ni(OH)2/NF were prepared by means of self-dissolution of metal matrix components, interface growth, and electrochemical activation (denoted as msig/ea). The as-synthesized catalysts have three-dimensional cuboid-like structures formed by interconnecting nanosheets composed of NiOOH. By theoretically guided regulation of the amounts of Ni3+ and oxygen vacancies (OV), a 96.5% yield of CHN from cyclohexanol (CHA) dehydrogenation and a 93.6% yield of AA from CHN oxidation were achieved. A combined experimental and theoretical study demonstrates that CHA dehydrogenation and CHN oxidation were promoted by the formation of Ni3+ and the peroxide species (*OOH) on OV. This work provides a promising approach for directional electrosynthesis of high-purity chemicals with in-depth mechanistic insights.

Abstract
Owing to the sluggish reaction kinetics, it is a promising yet challenging task to achieve the adequate electricity-driven catalytic oxidation of biomass-derived 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) in neutral conditions. Herein, we have prepared an elelctrocatalyst with interfacial coupling effect through in-situ growth of Cu phthalocyanine (CuPc) on Co3O4 spinel (Co3O4/CuPc), which constructs an effective electrocatalytic system of HMF oxidation with overall oxidation value-added products yield and total Faraday efficiency up to 80% and 70%, respectively. The interfacial coupling effect between CuPc and Co3O4 spinel improve catalytic activity by effectively boosting the interfacial charge transfer and reducing the formation energy of key *C6H3O4 in the catalytic pathway according to the in situ Raman spectroscopy and DFT simulation. This work illustrates the significance of interfacial coupling effect for developing highly efficient electrocatalysts applied for neutral system of biomass oxidation.

Abstract
The electrocatalytic oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) is a promising method for the efficient production of biomass-derived high-value-added chemicals. However, its practical application is limited by: 1) the low activity and selectivity caused by the competitive adsorption of HMF and OH- and 2) the low operational stability caused by the uncontrollable reconstruction of the catalyst. To overcome these limitations, a series of Ni3 S2 /NiOx -n catalysts with controllable compositions and well-defined structures are synthesized using a novel in situ controlled surface reconstruction strategy. The adsorption behavior of HMF and OH- can be continuously adjusted by varying the ratio of NiOx to Ni3 S2 on the catalysts surface, as indicated by in situ characterizations, contact angle analysis, and theoretical simulations. Owing to the balanced competitive adsorption of HMF and OH- , the optimized Ni3 S2 /NiOx -15 catalyst exhibited remarkable HMF electrocatalytic oxidation performance, with the current density reaching 366 mA cm-2 at 1.5 VRHE and the Faradaic efficiency of the product, 2,5-furanedicarboxylic acid, reaching 98%. Moreover, Ni3 S2 /NiOx -15 exhibits excellent durability, with its activity and structure remaining stable for over 100 h of operation. This study provides a new route for the design and construction of catalysts for value-added biomass conversion and offers new insights into enhancing catalytic performance by balancing competitive adsorption.

Abstract
Benzylamine electrooxidation reaction (BAOR) is a promising route to produce value-added, easy-separated benzonitrile, and effectively hoist H2 production. However, achieving excellent performance in low alkaline medium is a huge challenge. The performance is intimately correlated with effective coupling of HER and BAOR, which can be achieved by manipulating the d-electron structure of catalyst to regulate the active species from water. Herein, we constructed a biphasic Mo0.8 Ni0.2 N-Ni3 N heterojunction for enhanced bifunctional performance toward HER coupled with BAOR by customizing the d-band centers. Experimental and theoretical calculations indicate that charge transfer in the heterojunction causes the upshift of the d-band centers, which one side facilitates to decrease water activation energy and optimize H* adsorption on Mo0.8 Ni0.2 N for promoting HER activity, the other side favors to more easily produce and adsorb OH* from water for forming NiOOH on Ni3 N and optimizing adsorption energy of benzylamine, thus catalyzing BAOR effectively. Accordingly, it shows an industrial current density of 220 mA cm-2 at 1.59 V and high Faradaic efficiencies (>99 %) for H2 production and converting benzylamine to benzonitrile in 0.1 M KOH/0.5 M Na2 SO4 . This work guides the design of excellent bifunctional electrocatalysts for the scalable production of green hydrogen and value-added products.

Abstract
The construction of heterostructures is an effective strategy to enhance electrocatalysis for hydrogen evolution reactions (HERs) and biomass oxidative upgrading. In this work, a Ni/TiO2 heterostructure prepared by a phase-separation strategy was adopted as a bifunctional electrocatalyst for HERs and biomass oxidation in alkaline media. Due to the optimized hydrogen adsorption energetics as well as the interfacial water structure and hydrogen bond connectivity in the electrical double layer, Ni/TiO2 exhibited high activity for HERs with an overpotential of 28 mV at 10 mA cm-2 and good durability at 1000 mA cm-2 for over 100 h in an anion exchange membrane (AEM) electrolyzer. In addition, Ni/TiO2 showed high catalytic performance for the oxidation of biomass-based platform compound 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) to high-value added compound 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA). Continuous production of FDCA with a yield >95% was achieved in the AEM electrolyzer for over 50 h. The superior HMF oxidation performance on the Ni/TiO2 heterostructure compared to Ni resulted from stronger HMF adsorption, lower Ni3+-O formation potential, longer Ni3+-O bond and smaller Ni crystal size.

Abstract
The electrocatalytic conversion of biomass into high-value-added chemicals is one of the effective methods of green chemistry. Conventional metal catalysts have disadvantages, such as low atomic utilization and small surface areas. Catalyst materials derived from metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have received much attention due to their unique physicochemical properties. Here, an MOF-derived non-precious metal CoxNiyS electrocatalyst was applied to the oxidation of biomass-derivative 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF). The HMF oxidation reaction activities were modulated by regulating the content of Co and Ni bimetals, showing a volcano curve with an increasing proportion of Co. When the Co:Ni ratio was 2:1, the HMF conversion rate reached 84.5%, and the yield of the main product, 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA), was 54%. The XPS results showed that the presence of high-valent nickel species after electrolysis, which further proved the existence and reactivity of NiOOH, as well as the synergistic effect of Co and Ni promoted the conversion of HMF. Increasing the content of Ni could increase the activity of HMF electrochemical oxidation, and increasing the content of Co could reduce the increase in the anodic current. This study has important significance for designing better HMF electrochemical catalysts in the future.

Abstract
Biomass is a sustainable and renewable resource that can be converted into valuable chemicals, reducing the demand for fossil energy. 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), as an important biomass platform molecule, can be converted to high-value-added 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) via a green and renewable electrocatalytic oxidation route under mild reaction conditions, but efficient electrocatalysts are still lacking. Herein, we rationally fabricate a novel self-supported electrocatalyst of core-shell-structured copper hydroxide nanowires@cerium-doped nickel hydroxide nanosheets composite nanowires on a copper mesh (CuH_NWs@Ce:NiH_NSs/Cu) for electrocatalytically oxidizing HMF to FDCA. The integrated configuration of composite nanowires with rich interstitial spaces between them facilitates fast mass/electron transfer, improved conductivity, and complete exposure of active sites. The doping of Ce ions in nickel hydroxide nanosheets (NiH_NSs) and the coupling of copper hydroxide nanowires (CuH_NWs) regulate the electronic structure of the Ni active sites and optimize the adsorption strength of the active sites to the reactant, meanwhile promoting the generation of strong oxidation agents of Ni3+ species, thereby resulting in improved electrocatalytic activity. Consequently, the optimal CuH_NWs@Ce:NiH_NSs/Cu electrocatalyst is able to achieve a HMF conversion of 98.5% with a FDCA yield of 97.9% and a Faradaic efficiency of 98.0% at a low constant potential of 1.45 V versus reversible hydrogen electrode. Meanwhile, no activity attenuation can be found after 15 successive cycling tests. Such electrocatalytic performance suppresses most of the reported Cu-based and Ni-based electrocatalysts. This work highlights the importance of structure and doping engineering strategies for the rational fabrication of high-performance electrocatalysts for biomass upgrading.

Abstract
Simultaneously achieving electrochemical conversion of biomass-derived molecules into value-added products and energy-efficient hydrogen production is a highly attractive strategy but challenging. Herein, we reported a heterostructured Ni/Ni0.2Mo0.8N nanorod array electrocatalyst deposited on nickel foam (Ni/Ni0.2Mo0.8N/NF), which exhibited excellent electrocatalytic activity toward 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) oxidation, and nearly 100% conversion of HMF and 98.5% yield of 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) products can be achieved. The post-reaction characterizations unveil that Ni species in Ni/Ni0.2Mo0.8N/NF would be readily converted to NiOOH as the real active sites. Furthermore, a two-electrode electrolyzer was assembled with Ni/Ni0.2Mo0.8N/NF utilized as a bifunctional electrocatalyst for both the cathode and anode, giving rise to a low voltage of 1.51 V to concurrently produce FDCA and H2 at 50 mA cm-2. This work enlightens the significance of regulating redox activities of transition metals via interfacial engineering and constructing heterostructured electrocatalysts toward more efficient energy utilization.

Abstract
This paper reviews recent studies on the preparation of two-dimensional (2D) metal nanostructures, particularly nanosheets. As metal often exists in the high-symmetry crystal phase, such as face centered cubic structures, reducing the symmetry is often needed for the formation of low-dimensional nanostructures. Recent advances in characterization and theory allow for a deeper understanding of the formation of 2D nanostructures. This Review firstly describes the relevant theoretical framework to help the experimentalists understand chemical driving forces for the synthesis of 2D metal nanostructures, followed by examples on the shape control of different metals. Recent applications of 2D metal nanostructures, including catalysis, bioimaging, plasmonics, and sensing, are discussed. We end the Review with a summary and outlook of the challenges and opportunities in the design, synthesis, and application of 2D metal nanostructures.

Abstract
Electrocatalytic synthesis of aldehydes from alcohols exhibits unique superiorities as a promising technology, in which cascade reactions are involved. However, the cascade reactions are severely limited by the low selectivity resulting from the peroxidation of aldehydes in a traditional liquid-solid system. Herein, we report a novel liquid-liquid-solid system to regulate the selectivity of benzyl alcohol electrooxidation. The selectivity of benzaldehyde increases 200-fold from 0.4 % to 80.4 % compared with the liquid-solid system at a high current density of 136 mA cm-2 , which is the highest one up to date. In the tri-phase system, the benzaldehyde peroxidation is suppressed efficiently, with the conversion of benzaldehyde being decreased from 87.6 % to 3.8 %. The as-produced benzaldehyde can be in situ extracted to toluene phase and separated from the electrolyte to get purified benzaldehyde. This strategy provides an efficient way to efficiently enhance the selectivity of electrocatalytic cascade reactions.

Abstract
Multiple surface/interface engineering is an effective approach to develop efficient electrocatalysts for promoting the practical application of electrocatalysis and achieving carbon neutrality. Herein, a deep eutectic liquid precursor containing phosphorus was designed. The self-supported three-dimensional (3D) cobalt-doped Ni12P5/Ni3P nanowire networks coated with a thin layer of carbon (Co-NixP@C) were prepared by using an in-situ one-step pyrolysis method. The as-obtained Co-NixP@C hybrid possesses a superaerophobic/superhydrophilic surface, which could promote electrolyte diffusion and enhance bubble release. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal that Co-doping in NixP@C can promote the adsorption and activation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) molecules, and optimize the energy barrier of H* absorption. The self-supported Co-NixP@C was used as an efficient bifunctional electrocatalyst for HMF oxidation coupled with hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in a 1.0 M KOH solution. A nearly 100 % yield of 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) was achieved. The self-supported Co-NixP@C displayed high activity and stability for both HER and HMF conversion. The HMF oxidation coupled with HER can be efficiently driven by a 1.5 V commercial photovoltaic panel under sunlight. This study lays the foundation for large-scale industrialization in sustainable fine-chemical and energy engineering.

Abstract
The electrochemical transformation of biomass to high value-added products is attractive. Herein, Cu sulfide-mediated in-situ synthesis of Cu oxide was achieved for efficient electro-oxidation of biomass derived 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) to 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA). The copper foam-supported Cu sulfide (Cu-S/CF) was in-situ converted to Cu oxide during the electro-oxidation process. The in-situ formed Cu oxide presented high HMF conversion, FDCA yield, and faradaic efficiency in 1 m KOH with HMF concentration up to 100 mm. The oxidation of HMF on Cu oxide started with the formation of high-valence Cu species with the assistance of OH- , which then oxidized HMF spontaneously. An anion exchange membrane (AEM) electrolyzer with Cu-S/CF as the anode was assembled to continuously produce FDCA with H2 generation at the cathode. The AEM electrolyzer ran stably for 60 h with FDCA content higher than 85 % at a cell voltage between 1.50 and 1.60 V.

[PMID: 36310140 DOI: 10.1002/smll.202204356] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/14/2022] [Revised: 09/17/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
Developing low-cost all-iron hybrid redox flow batteries (RFBs) presents a practical alternative to the high-cost all-vanadium RFBs and is deemed vital for grid-scale energy storage applications. However, the intrinsically poor Fe anode reversibility associated with the deposition and dissolution of metallic iron greatly limits the cycling performance and long-term stability of all-iron hybrid RFBs. Herein, a highly reversible and dendrite-free Fe anode is reported for all-iron RFBs through regulation of polar solvent dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) on FeCl2 anolyte, which simultaneously reshapes Fe2+ solvation structure and induces controllable oriented Fe deposition. Combining both experimental and theoretical analyses, the polar DMSO additives prove effective in replacing H2 O molecule from the primary solvation shell of Fe2+ cation via the Fe2+ -O (DMSO) bond and meanwhile induces a fine-grained Fe nucleation on the preferred Fe (110) plane, which are responsible for the minimized hydrogen evolution and dendrite-free Fe deposition that significantly enhance Fe anode reversibility. The all-iron RFB based on the proposed FeCl2 -DMSO anolyte demonstrates an excellent combination of peak power density of 134 mW cm-2 , high energy efficiency of 75% at 30 mA cm-2 , and high capacity retention of 98.6% over 200 cycles, which presents the best performance of all-iron RFBs among previously reported research.

Abstract
The development of catalysts with relatively high current densities at low potentials for the electrooxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) is still challenging. In this study, an in situ deep eutectic solvent (DES) etching phosphorization strategy is developed to prepare nickel phosphides encapsulated in P,O-codoped carbon nanosheets (Ni-P@POC). The DES serves not only as an etchant to extract Ni2+ from the nickel foam, but also as a phosphorus source to form nickel phosphides in situ uniformly embedded in the carbon films to produce a sheet structure. The electrooxidation performance is further greatly improved by implementing an electrochemical activation step to transform Ni-P@POC into NiOOH/Ni-P@POC (t-Ni-P@POC). t-Ni-P@POC exhibits a low onset potential of 1.20 V vs. RHE and a high current density of 200 mA cm-2 at 1.33 V vs. RHE for HMF electrooxidation, outperforming most reported catalysts. The as-developed DES etching phosphorization strategy offers a facile, flexible, and universal route for the design of high-performance catalysts with specific nanostructures.

Abstract
The electrocatalytic splitting of water is recognized to be the most sustainable and clean technology for the production of hydrogen (H2 ). Unfortunately, the efficiency is seriously restricted by the sluggish kinetics of the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) at the anode. In contrast to the OER, the electrooxidation of organic compounds (EOO) is more thermodynamically and kinetically favorable. Thus, the coupling of the EOO and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) has emerged as an alternative route, as it can greatly improve the catalytic efficiency for the production of H2 . Simultaneously, value-added organic compounds can be generated on the anode through electrooxidation upgrading. In this Minireview, we highlight the latest progress and milestones in coupling the EOO with the HER. Emphasis is focused on the design of the anode catalyst, understanding the reaction mechanism, and the construction of the electrolyzer. Moreover, challenges and prospects are offered relating to the future development of this emerging technology.

Abstract
Electrocatalytic oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) provides an efficient way to obtain high-value-added biomass-derived chemicals. Compared with other transition metal oxides, CuO exhibits poor oxygen evolution reaction performance, leading to high Faraday efficiency for HMF oxidation. However, the weak adsorption and activation ability of CuO to OH- species restricts its further development. Herein, the CuO-PdO heterogeneous interface is successfully constructed, resulting in an advanced onset-potential of the HMF oxidation reaction (HMFOR), a higher current density than CuO. The results of open-circuit potential, in situ infrared spectroscopy, and theoretical calculations indicate that the introduction of PdO enhances the adsorption capacity of the organic molecule. Meanwhile, the CuO-PdO heterogeneous interface promotes the adsorption and activation of OH- species, as demonstrated by zeta potential and electrochemical measurements. This work elucidates the adsorption enhancement mechanism of heterogeneous interfaces and provides constructive guidance for designing efficient multicomponent electrocatalysts in organic electrocatalytic reactions.

Abstract
5-Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) can be oxidized to 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) for the production of biorenewable plastics to replace fossil resourced polyethylene terephthalate (PET). Development of a highly efficient electrocatalyst using renewable electricity as energy input is highly desired. In this work, Ru cluster-embedded Ni(OH)2 nanosheets [Ru/Ni(OH)2 ] were synthesized and exploited as electrochemical catalysts for the conversion of HMF to FDCA. Ru/Ni(OH)2 exhibited significantly improved current density (40 mA cm-2 at 1.41 V vs. reversible hydrogen electrode) of over 7.7 times in comparison with Ni(OH)2 , and nearly 100 % conversion degree for HMF and 98.5 % selectivity towards FDCA were obtained. Operando Raman experiments revealed the catalysis was facilitated by the interconversion between Ni3+ and Ni2+ . Density functional theory calculations further revealed the effect of Ru clusters of Ni(OH)2 , thereby promoting HMF adsorption capacity on Ni sites to boost HMF oxidation activity. This work provides a novel strategy using Ru clusters to modify earth abundant Ni based catalyst for HMF oxidation to obtain high-value biomass-derived products.

Abstract
Paired electroreduction and electrooxidation of organics with water as a feedstock to produce value-added chemicals is meaningful. A comprehensive understanding of reaction mechanism is critical for the catalyst design and relative area development. Here, we have systematically studied the mechanism of the paired electroreduction and electrooxidation of organics on Fe-Mo-based phosphide heterojunctions. It is shown that active H* species for organic electroreduction originate from water. As for organic electrooxidation, among various oxygen species (OH*, OOH*, and O*), OH* free radicals derived from the first step of water dissociation are identified as active species. Furthermore, explicit reaction pathways and their paired advantages are proposed based on theoretical calculations. The paired electrolyzer powered by a solar cell shows a low voltage of 1.594 V at 100 mA cm-2, faradaic efficiency of ≥99%, and remarkable cycle stability. This work provides a guide for sustainable synthesis of various value-added chemicals via paired electrocatalysis.

Abstract
The biomass-derived alcohol oxidation reaction (BDAOR) holds great promise for sustainable production of chemicals. However, selective electrooxidation of alcohols to value-added aldehyde compounds is still challenging. Herein, we report the electrocatalytic BDAORs to selectively produce aldehydes using single-atom ruthenium on nickel oxide (Ru1 -NiO) as a catalyst in the neutral medium. For electrooxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), Ru1 -NiO exhibits a low potential of 1.283 V at 10 mA cm-2 , and an optimal 2,5-diformylfuran (DFF) selectivity of 90 %. Experimental studies reveal that the neutral electrolyte plays a critical role in achieving a high aldehyde selectivity, and the single-atom Ru boosts HMF oxidation in the neutral medium by promoting water dissociation to afford OH*. Furthermore, Ru1 -NiO can be extended to selective electrooxidation of a series of biomass-derived alcohols to corresponding aldehydes, which are conventionally difficult to obtain in the alkaline medium.

Abstract
The conversion of biomass-derived platform molecules (e.g., 5-hydroxymethyl furfural (HMF)) represents a sustainable route to produce value-added chemicals. Here we report the fabrication of an N-doped carbon nanotube assembled yolk–shell polyhedron with embedded Co–CoSx nanoparticles (NPs) (Y-Co–CoSx@CN) for efficient HMF electrooxidation. DFT calculations demonstrate that the formation of the heterojunction could intensify spin polarization in Co–CoS2, thus achieving effective d–p coupling between the catalyst and reactant/intermediate. As expected, Y-Co–CoSx@CN exhibits excellent HMF electro-oxidation activity at a low applied potential of 1.29 V vs. RHE at 10 mA cm−2 in 0.1 M KOH with 5 mM HMF, affording an FDCA yield of 96% and FE of 93.5%. This work not only sheds light on the catalytic nature of the heterojunction and the underlying mechanisms for the enhancement of HMF electro-oxidation activity, but would also provide a descriptor for the rational design of advanced electro-catalysts. The intensified spin polarization in Co–CoSx makes the electronic states move to the Fermi level, which affords the favorable d–p coupling between catalysts and reactants/intermediates, achieving an economical energy input for the overall HMFOR.![]()

Abstract
Developing high-capacity, dendrite-free, and stable anode materials for robust aqueous alkaline batteries (AABs) is an ongoing challenge. Antimony (Sb) is predicated as an attractive anode material, but it still suffers from low capacity and poor stability caused by the obstructed kinetic behavior and uncontrollable nucleation for SbO2 - . Herein, designing a new defect-modified carbon skeleton (D-CS), a highly reversible Sb anode with ultralong cycling stability is realized at practical levels of capacity and high depth of discharge (DOD). The abundant intrinsic carbon defects can effectively form positive charge centers to weaken electrostatic repulsion between SbO2 - and electrode surface, facilitating the fast ion kinetics and provide generous controllable nucleation sites. In addition, the uniform electric field distribution of the D-CS induces manageable plating and stripping of the Sb metal, which effectively boosts its electrochemical reversibility and restrains adverse reactions. Accordingly, the Sb/D-CS electrode achieves a long cycle life of over 500 h with a capacity of 2 mAh cm-2 . Even at an ultrahigh capacity of 10 mAh cm-2 , it can still work stably up to 40 h. Furthermore, its feasibility as advanced anode in AABs is also confirmed by assembled Ni//Sb/D-CS full batteries with an ultrahigh capacity of 13.5 mAh cm-2 and a considerable stability of 4500 cycles.

Abstract
Furfural and 5-hydroxymethyl furfural (HMF) are abundantly available biomass-derived renewable chemical feedstocks, and their oxidation to furoic acid and furan-2,5-dicarboxylic acid (FDCA), respectively, is a research area with huge prospective applications in food, cosmetics, optics, and renewable polymer industries. Water-based oxidation of furfural/HMF is a lucrative approach for simultaneous generation of H2 and furoic acid/FDCA. However, this process is currently limited to (photo)electrochemical methods that can be challenging to control, improve, and scale up. Herein, we report well-defined ruthenium pincer catalysts for direct homogeneous oxidation of furfural/HMF to furoic acid/FDCA, using alkaline water as the formal oxidant while producing pure H2 as the reaction byproduct. Mechanistic studies indicate that the ruthenium complex not only catalyzes the aqueous oxidation but also actively suppresses background decomposition by facilitating initial Tishchenko coupling of substrates, which is crucial for reaction selectivity. With further improvement, this process can be used in scaled-up facilities for a simultaneous renewable building block and fuel production.

Abstract
Oxidation reactions provide a wide range of important chemicals in industry; however, most of these chemicals are produced from fossil feedstocks. As a candidate of oxygen evolution reaction (OER), the electrooxidation of biomass platform chemicals instead of a petroleum source offers a sustainable and atom-economic avenue toward organic oxygenates, with additional benefits when coupled with renewable electricity driven processes. This highlight article describes the representative examples in this nascent area, including oxidative dehydrogenation, coupling, and cleavage. We classify the examples into inner-sphere and outer-sphere electrode reactions based on the classical electrocatalysis concept for better understanding of the reaction mechanism. Moreover, we highlight the recent progress in oxidative biomass electrorefining via inner-sphere anodic reactions, which are strongly dependent on the nature of the electrode material. Particularly, the understanding of the formation of reactive oxygen species, adsorption of substrates, and reconstruction of anode materials is presented. Finally, the existing challenges and perspectives are discussed.

Abstract
Development of non-noble multi-metallic electrocatalyst with high oxygen evolution reaction (OER) activity via a simple and low-cost method is of great importance for improving the efficiency of water electro-chemical splitting. Herein, a solution impregnation strategy was proposed to synthesize novel FeNi-doped Co-ZIF-L trimetallic hybrid electrocatalyst using Co-ZIF-L as sacrificial templates and Fe and Ni ions as etchants and dopants. This synthetic strategy could be realized via the etching-coprecipitation mechanism to obtain an amorphous hybrid containing multi-metal hydroxides. The as-prepared electrocatalyst loaded on Ni foam displays a low overpotential of 245 mV at 10 mA·cm-2, a small Tafel slope of 54.9 mV·dec-1, and excellent stability at least 12 h in the OER process. The facile and efficient synthetic strategy presents a new entry for the fabrication of ZIFs-derived multi-metallic electrocatalysts for OER electrocatalysis.
