Unraveling the Electrocatalytic Activity in HMF Oxidation to FDCA by Fine-Tuning the Degree of NiOOH Phase Over Ni Nanoparticles Supported on Graphene Oxide.

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
Carbon dioxide (CO2) conversion into value-added chemicals/fuels by utilizing solar energy is a sustainable way to mitigate our dependence on fossil fuels and stimulate a carbon-neutral economy. However, the efficient and affordable conversion of CO2 is still an ongoing challenge. Here, we report an interfacially synthesized visible-light-active Ni(II)-integrated covalent organic frameworks (TaTpBpy-Ni COFs) film as a photocatalyst for efficient CO2 conversion into carboxylic acid under ambient conditions. Notably, the TaTpBpy-Ni COFs film showed excellent photocatalytic activity for the carboxylation of various arylamines with CO2 to the corresponding arylcarboxylic acid via C-N bond activation under solar-light irradiation. Moreover, this carboxylation protocol exhibits mild reaction conditions and good functional group tolerance without the necessity of using stoichiometric metallic reductants. This work shows a benchmark example of not only the interfacially synthesized COFs film used as a photocatalyst for solar-light energy utilization but also the selective solar chemical production system of arylcarboxylic acid directly from CO2.

Chempluschem 2023; 88:e202300285.

Abstract
Hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) coupled with biomass conversion is a sustainable route to produce clean energy H2 and value-added chemicals simultaneously. Herein, an amorphous Ni-Mo-B-O bifunctional electrocatalyst was synthesized through a facile electrodeposition method and employed as a cathode for HER to produce H2 and as an anode for the conversion of hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) to furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA). Besides leading to the formation of amorphous structures, the introduction of Mo and B can increase the electron density and optimize the electronic structure of the electrocatalyst, thus substantially increasing the catalytic activity of the catalyst. After continuous reaction at a constant potential of 0.58 V vs. Hg/HgO for 8 hours, the conversion of HMF reached 98.86 %, and the selectivity of the target product FDCA was as high as 92.97 %. Finally, a two-electrolyzer system was constructed using the amorphous Ni-Mo-B-O as both cathode and anode to achieve simultaneous H2 production in the cathode chamber and FDCA production in the anode chamber at a low voltage. This work presents a promising strategy for the design and synthesis of high-performance non-noble metal electrocatalysts for efficient and cost-effective H2 production.

Abstract
With the gradual progress of research on proton-conducting metal-organic framework (MOFs), it has become a challenging task to find MOF materials that are easy to prepare and have low toxicity, high stability, and splendid proton conductivity. With the abovementioned objectives in mind, we selected the non-toxic organic ligand 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid and the low toxic quadrivalent metals zirconium(IV) or hafnium(IV) as starting materials and successfully obtained 2 three-dimensional porous MOFs, [M6O4(OH)4(FDC)4(OH)4(H2O)4] [M = ZrIV (1) and HfIV (2)], with ultrahigh water stability using a rapid and green synthesis approach. Their proton conductive ability is remarkable, thanks to the large number of Lewis acidic sites contained in their porous frameworks and the abundant H-bonding network, hydroxyl groups, as well as coordination and crystalline water molecules. The positive correlation of their proton conductivity with relative humidity (RH) and the temperature was observed. Notably, their optimized proton conductivities are 2.80 × 10-3 S·cm-1 of 1 and 3.38 × 10-3 S·cm-1 of 2 under 100 °C/98% RH, which are at the forefront of Zr(IV)/Hf(IV) MOFs with prominent proton conductivity. Logically, their framework features, nitrogen/water adsorption/desorption data, and activation energy values are integrated to deduce their proton conductivity and conducting mechanism differences.

Abstract
In the face of the current energy and environmental problems, the full use of biomass resources instead of fossil energy to produce a series of high-value chemicals has great application prospects. 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), which can be synthesized from lignocellulose as a raw material, is an important biological platform molecule. Its preparation and the catalytic oxidation of subsequent products have important research significance and practical value. In the actual production process, porous organic polymer (POP) catalysts are highly suitable for biomass catalytic conversion due to their high efficiency, low cost, good designability, and environmentally friendly features. Here, we briefly describe the application of various types of POPs (including COFs, PAFs, HCPs, and CMPs) in the preparation and catalytic conversion of HMF from lignocellulosic biomass and analyze the influence of the structural properties of catalysts on the catalytic performance. Finally, we summarize some challenges that POPs catalysts face in biomass catalytic conversion and prospect the important research directions in the future. This review provides valuable references for the efficient conversion of biomass resources into high-value chemicals in practical applications.

Abstract
Electrocatalytic nitrogen reduction reaction (NRR) represents a promising sustainable approach for NH3 synthesis. However, the poor NRR performance of electrocatalysts is a great challenge at this stage, mainly owing to their low activity and the competitive hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Herein, 2D ferric covalent organic framework/MXene (COF-Fe/MXene) nanosheets with controllable hydrophobic behaviors are successfully prepared via a multiple-in-one synthetic strategy. The boosting hydrophobicity of COF-Fe/MXene can effectively repel water molecules to inhibit the HER for enhanced NRR performances. By virtue of the ultrathin nanostructure, well-defined single Fe sites, nitrogen enrichment effect, and high hydrophobicity, the 1H,1H,2H,2H-perfluorodecanethiol modified COF-Fe/MXene hybrid shows a NH3 yield of 41.8 µg h-1 mgcat. -1 and a Faradaic efficiency of 43.1% at -0.5 V versus RHE in a 0.1 m Na2 SO4 water solution, which are vastly superior to the known Fe-based catalysts and even to the noble metal catalysts. This work provides a universal strategy to design and synthesis of non-precious metal electrocatalysts for high-efficiency N2 reduction to NH3 .

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.

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
The electrochemical oxidation of the biomass platform 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) to 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA), is an important reaction in the emerging area of renewable energy-powered biomass valorization. A key limitation in this field is the ill-defined nature of the catalytic sites of the highest-performing materials that limits the fundamental insights that can be extracted. To this end, a conductive metal-organic framework-based electrocatalytic model system with well-defined M-O4 active sites for electrochemical HMF oxidation was developed. These materials were found to be highly active towards FDCA generation, with product yields of over 95 %. In parallel, infrared spectroscopy was employed to capture a surface-bound aldehyde group as the key intermediate in the catalytic cycle, which forms once M(II/III) oxidation occurs. This work illustrates the advantage of utilizing molecularly defined active sites coupled with operando spectroscopy to provide fundamental insights into a variety of electrosynthetic reactions and thus paves the way for future catalyst design.

Abstract
Conversion of biomass into biofuels and high value-added chemicals is a promising strategy to solve the increasingly deteriorating environmental problems caused by fossil energy consumption. The development of efficient technologies and methods is the premise and guarantee to realize the high-value conversion of biomass. 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), as a versatile biomass platform compound, is generated via dehydration of hexoses (e. g., fructose and glucose) derived from cellulosic biomass. This Review gives an overview of the advances and challenges of electro- and photocatalytic oxidation of biomass-derived HMF to high-value chemicals such as 2,5-formylfuran (DFF) and 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA). These strategies and methods for the preparation of high-value chemicals by electro- and photocatalytic oxidation of HMF, coupled with, for example, hydrogen evolution reaction, organic substrate reduction, CO2 reduction reaction, or N2 reduction reaction, were summarized and discussed. Moreover, the catalytic efficiency and mechanism of different types of catalysts were also introduced in these conversion systems.

Abstract
In the present era, electrochemical water splitting has been showcased as a reliable solution for alternative and sustainable energy development. The development of a cheap, albeit active, catalyst to split water at a substantial overpotential with long durability is a perdurable challenge. Moreover, understanding the nature of surface-active species under electrochemical conditions remains fundamentally important. A facile hydrothermal approach is herein adapted to prepare covellite (hexagonal) phase CuS nanoplates. In the covellite CuS lattice, copper is present in a mixed-valent state, supported by two different binding energy values (932.10 eV for CuI and 933.65 eV for CuII) found in X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis, and adopted two different geometries, that is, trigonal planar preferably for CuI and tetrahedral preferably for CuII. The as-synthesized covellite CuS behaves as an efficient electro(pre)catalyst for alkaline water oxidation while deposited on a glassy carbon and nickel foam (NF) electrodes. Under cyclic voltammetry cycles, covellite CuS electrochemically and irreversibly oxidized to CuO, indicated by a redox feature at 1.2 V (vs the reversible hydrogen electrode) and an ex situ Raman study. Electrochemically activated covellite CuS to the CuO phase (termed as CuSEA) behaves as a pure copper-based catalyst showing an overpotential (η) of only 349 (±5) mV at a current density of 20 mA cm-2, and the TOF value obtained at η349 (at 349 mV) is 1.1 × 10-3 s-1. A low Rct of 5.90 Ω and a moderate Tafel slope of 82 mV dec-1 confirm the fair activity of the CuSEA catalyst compared to the CuS precatalyst, reference CuO, and other reported copper catalysts. Notably, the CuSEA/NF anode can deliver a constant current of ca. 15 mA cm-2 over a period of 10 h and even a high current density of 100 mA cm-2 for 1 h. Post-oxygen evolution reaction (OER)-chronoamperometric characterization of the anode via several spectroscopic and microscopic tools firmly establishes the formation of crystalline CuO as the active material along with some amorphous Cu(OH)2 via bulk reconstruction of the covellite CuS under electrochemical conditions. Given the promising OER activity, the CuSEA/NF anode can be fabricated as a water electrolyzer, Pt(-)//(+)CuSEA/NF, that delivers a j of 10 mA cm-2 at a cell potential of 1.58 V. The same electrolyzer can further be used for electrochemical transformation of organic feedstocks like ethanol, furfural, and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural to their respective acids. The present study showcases that a highly active CuO/Cu(OH)2 heterostructure can be constructed in situ on NF from the covellite CuS nanoplate, which is not only a superior pure copper-based electrocatalyst active for OER and overall water splitting but also for the electro-oxidation of industrial feedstocks.

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
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
With the increasing emphasis on transitioning to a sustainable society, electrosynthetic routes to generate fuels and chemicals are rapidly gaining traction. While the electrolysis of water and CO2 has been heavily investigated over the last decade, electrocatalysis of other abundant resources such as biomass and methane is now increasingly coming into focus. As this area is relatively less mature, much work remains to be done. In particular, efforts to decipher reaction mechanisms and extract the fundamental insights are necessary to develop economically competitive electrosynthetic routes using biomass and methane. Against this backdrop, this feature article focuses on the recent developments within the community using atomically precise catalysts, both homogeneous and heterogeneous, as model systems to understand these reactions.

Abstract
The allure of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) in heterogeneous electrocatalysis is that catalytically active sites may be designed a priori with an unparalleled degree of control. An emerging strategy to generate coordinatively-unsaturated active sites is through the use of organic linkers that lack a functional group that would usually bind with the metal nodes. To execute this strategy, we synthesize a model MOF, Ni-MOF-74 and incorporate a fraction of 2-hydroxyterephthalic acid in place of 2,5-dihydroxyterephthalic acid. The defective MOF, Ni-MOF-74D, is evaluated vs. the nominally defect-free Ni-MOF-74 with a host of ex situ and in situ spectroscopic and electroanalytical techniques, using the oxidation of hydroxymethylfurtural (HMF) as a model reaction. The data indicates that Ni-MOF-74D features a set of 4-coordinate Ni–O4 sites that exhibit unique vibrational signatures, redox potentials, binding motifs to HMF, and consequently superior electrocatalytic activity relative to the original Ni-MOF-74 MOF, being able to convert HMF to the desired 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid at 95% yield and 80% faradaic efficiency. Furthermore, having such rationally well-defined catalytic sites coupled with in situ Raman and infrared spectroelectrochemical measurements enabled the deduction of the reaction mechanism in which co-adsorbed *OH functions as a proton acceptor in the alcohol oxidation step and carries implications for catalyst design for heterogeneous electrosynthetic reactions en route to the electrification of the chemical industry. The allure of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) in heterogeneous electrocatalysis is that catalytically active sites may be designed a priori with an unparalleled degree of control.![]()

Abstract
The development of electrochemical catalytic conversion of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) has recently gained attention as a potentially scalable approach for both oxidation and reduction processes yielding value-added products. While the possibility of electrocatalytic HMF transformations has been demonstrated, this growing research area is in its initial stages. Additionally, its practical applications remain limited due to low catalytic activity and product selectivity. Understanding the catalytic processes and design of electrocatalysts are important in achieving a selective and complete conversion into the desired highly valuable products. In this Minireview, an overview of the most recent status, advances, and challenges of oxidation and reduction processes of HMF was provided. Discussion and summary of voltammetric studies and important reaction factors (e. g., catalyst type, electrode material) were included. Finally, biocatalysts (e. g., enzymes, whole cells) were introduced for HMF modification, and future opportunities to combine biocatalysts with electrochemical methods for the production of high-value chemicals from HMF were discussed.
