Abstract
Abstract Electrochemical 5‐hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) oxidation reaction (HMFOR) offers a promising route to transform biomass into value‐added chemicals. However, the competing oxygen evolution reaction (OER) greatly limits the HMFOR selectivity. Herein, we report a facile doping strategy to engineer oxygen intermediates adsorption on amorphous NiFe alloys to boost highly selective electrochemical HMF oxidation to produce 2,5‐furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA), among which, amorphous Mn‐doped NiFeB alloy displays a low HMFOR onset potential of 1.35 V vs . RHE, achieving 100 % HMF conversion with 88 % FDCA selectivity at an applied potential of 1.4 V vs . RHE, outperforming amorphous NiFeB (73 % FDCA selectivity)…
