Abstract

The promoted electrocatalytic hydrogenation of biomass-derived furfural to 2-methylfuran is for the first time identified in a water/oil bi-phasic system, in which the oil phase can quickly separate hydrophobic products from the electrode/electrolyte interfaces, resulting in a beneficial equilibrium toward hydrodeoxygenation.
