Abstract
Abstract Converting biomass‐derived molecules like 5‐hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) into value‐added products alongside hydrogen production using renewable energy offers significant opportunities for sustainable chemical and energy production. Yet, HMF electrooxidation requires strong alkaline conditions and membranes for efficient conversion. These harsh conditions destabilize HMF, leading to humin formation and reduced product purity, meanwhile membranes increase costs. Addressing these challenges, we introduce a two‐step, decoupling system that operates without strong alkaline conditions and eliminates the need of membranes. In this system, nickel‐cobalt hydroxides serve as effective redox mediators, driving…
