Abstract

Photoelectrochemical dimethoxylation of furan with methanol using a BiVO₄/WO₃ photoanode and Br⁺/Br⁻ as a mediator was demonstrated with low applied potential. The faradaic efficiency for the dimethoxylation with a Et₄NBF₄ co-supporting electrolyte at +0.1 V vs. SHE was almost quantitative up to 99%.
