Highly Self-Healing Co<sup>3+</sup>/Ni<sup>3+</sup> Dual-Active Species for the Electrocatalytic Oxidation of 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural
Electrocatalytic conversion of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) to 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) is significant for the sustainable production of value-added chemicals. Active sites of catalysts could enhance the activity and selectivity of the HMF oxidation reaction (HMFOR), but the self-healing ability of active sites has been commonly ignored. In this work, Co(OH)<sub>2</sub>/Ni-MOF was successfully fabricated for efficient oxidation of HMF to FDCA under mild conditions. Electrochemical and cyclic stability experiments demonstrated the high self-healing properties of the dual active sites (Co<sup>3+</sup>/Ni<sup>3+</sup>). So, the retention rate of FDCA yield can still reach 98.5%, even after 90 days. HMFOR was further coupled with 4-nitrophenol hydrogenation, which promotes the yield and Faradaic efficiency of FDCA to about 100%. Therefore, this study explores the self-healing properties of species and provides new insights for designing efficient catalysts.
