Abstract
A systematic study on the electrochemical reforming of monosaccharides (fructose, glucose, and xylose) using Pt-based anodic electrocatalysts is here presented for the first time to completely optimize the anodic catalyst and electrolyzer operating conditions. First, the electro-oxidation of each molecule was studied using a monometallic (Pt) and two bimetallic (PtNi and PtCo) anodic electrocatalysts supported on graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs). Tests in a three-electrode cell showed superior electrochemical activity and durability of PtNi/GNPs, especially at potentials higher than 1.2 V vs RHE, with the highest electrocatalytic activity in d-xylose electro-oxidation. Then, monometallic (Pt and Ni) and bimetallic electrocatalysts with different Pt:Ni mass ratios (1:1 and 2:1) were studied for d-xylose electro-oxidation, with the 2:1 mass ratio presenting the best results. This electrocatalyst was selected as the most suitable for scale-up to an anion-exchange membrane electrolyzer, where the optimal operating potential was determined. Additionally, stable operating conditions of the electrolyzer were achieved by cyclic H2 production and cathodic regeneration polarization steps. This led to suitable and reproducible H2 production rates throughout the production cycles for renewable hydrogen production from biomass-derived streams.

Abstract
Humanity's overreliance on fossil fuels for chemical and energy production has resulted in uncontrollable carbon emissions that have warranted widespread concern regarding global warming. To address this issue, there is a growing body of research on renewable resources such as biomass, of which cellulose is the most abundant type. In particular, the electrochemical reforming of biomass is especially promising, as it allows greater control over valorization processes and requires milder conditions. Driven by renewable electricity, electroreforming of biomass can be green and sustainable. Moreover, green hydrogen generation can be coupled to anodic biomass electroforming, which has attracted ever-increasing attention. The following review is a summary of recent developments related to electroreforming cellulose and its derivatives (glucose, hydroxymethylfurfural, levulinic acid). The electroreforming of biomass can be achieved on the anode of an electrochemical cell through electrooxidation, as well as on the cathode through electroreduction. Recent advances in the anodic electroreforming of cellulose and cellulose-derived glucose and 5-hydrooxylmethoylfurural (5-HMF) are first summarized. Then, the key achievements in the cathodic electroreforming of cellulose and cellulose-derived 5-HMF and levulinic acid are discussed. Afterward, the emerging research focusing on coupling hydrogen evolution with anodic biomass reforming for the cogeneration of green hydrogen fuel and value-added chemicals is reviewed. The final chapter of this paper provides our perspective on the challenges and future research directions of biomass electroreforming.

Abstract
The current climate awareness coupled with increased focus on renewable energy and biobased chemicals have led to an increased demand for such biomass derived products. Electrosynthesis is a relatively new approach that allows a shift from conventional fossil-based chemistry towards a new model of a real sustainable chemistry that allows to use the excess renewable electricity to convert biobased feedstock into base and commodity chemicals. The electrosynthesis approach is expected to increase the production efficiency and minimize negative health for the workers and environmental impact all along the value chain. In this review, we discuss the various electrosynthesis approaches that have been applied on carbohydrate biomass specifically to produce valuable chemicals. The studies on the electro-oxidation of saccharides have mostly targeted the oxidation of the primary alcohol groups to form the corresponding uronic acids, with Au or TEMPO as the active electrocatalysts. The investigations on electroreduction of saccharides focused on the reduction of the aldehyde groups to the corresponding alcohols, using a variety of metal electrodes. Both oxidation and reduction pathways are elaborated here with most recent examples. Further recommendations have been made about the research needs, choice of electrocatalyst and electrolyte as well as upscaling the technology.

Electroreforming of Glucose and Xylose in Alkaline Medium at Carbon Supported Alloyed Pd3Au7 Nanocatalysts: Effect of Aldose Concentration and Electrolysis Cell Voltage. CLEAN TECHNOLOGIES 2020.

Abstract
The effects of cell voltage and of concentration of sugars (glucose and xylose) on the performances of their electro-reforming have been evaluated at a Pd3Au7/C anode in 0.10 mol L−1 NaOH solution. The catalyst synthesized by a wet chemistry route is first comprehensively characterized by physicochemical and electrochemical techniques. The supported catalyst consists in alloyed Pd3Au7 nanoparticles of circa 6 nm mean diameter deposited on a Vulcan XC72 carbon support, with a metal loading close to 40 wt%. Six-hour chronoamperometry measurements are performed at 293 K in a 25 cm2 electrolysis cell for the electro-conversion of 0.10 mol L−1 and 0.50 mol L−1 glucose and xylose at cell voltages of +0.4 V, +0.6 V and +0.8 V. Reaction products are analyzed every hour by high performance liquid chromatography. The main products are gluconate and xylonate for glucose and xylose electro-reforming, respectively, but the faradaic yield, the selectivity and the formation rate of gluconate/xylonate decrease with the increase of aldose concentration, whereas lower faradaic yields and higher formation rates of gluconate/xylonate are observed at +0.8 V than at +0.4 V (higher chemical yields).
