Dopant-Level Cobalt as an Electronic Promoter Stabilizes NiOOH for the Efficient Electrochemical Oxidation of 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) to 2,5-Furandicarboxylic Acid (FDCA)

Abstract The electrochemical oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) to 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) is a promising route to biobased polymers using Ni-based hydroxide anodes. Although Co incorporation enhances performance, its mechanistic role in HMF oxidation remains un...
