Designing Cu–CoO heterostructure nanosheets for efficient electrooxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural to 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid

Abstract

We report the design of Cu–CoO heterostructure nanosheets as a highly efficient electrocatalyst for the electrochemical conversion of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) to 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA). The Cu–CoO nanosheets exhibited remarkable catalytic performance, achieving 100% HMF conversion, 98.2% FDCA yield, and 98.1% Faraday efficiency.
