Abstract
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.
