Abstract

Herein, we presented a bifunctional photocatalytic system for 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) valorization over Ni(OH)₂-modified ZnIn₂S₄. Instead of forming 2,5-diformylfuran C₆ products from conventional HMF aerobic oxidation, C–C coupling C₁₂ products and H₂ were produced in anaerobic water, which can be an important liquid fuel intermediate and gaseous energy carrier, respectively. This work could spark more insight for biomass utilization.
