In Situ Growing MOFs on Ni(OH)2 for Efficient Electrocatalytic Oxidation of 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural

A Ni-based MOF is in situ grown onto Ni(OH)2 nanosheets to effectively suppress oxygen evolution reaction for efficient electrocatalytic oxidation of biomass-derived 5-hydroxymethylfurfural to 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid with 100% yield and faradaic efficiency at 1.4 V (vs. RHE).
