Abstract
The electrooxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) to 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA), a monomer for degradable bioplastic, is a promising strategy for biomass upgrade and yet requires well-designed catalysts with high efficiency and selectivity. Taking advantage of the open metal sites of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), quasi-MOFs represent viable catalysts, but the poor designability and unpredictable structures hinder their development. In this work, a Ni-based quasi-MOF was rationally designed and synthesized by controlled ligand engineering. Compared to the fully occupied metal clusters in the pristine MOFs, the accessible Ni sites in quasi-MOFs can efficiently convert HMF to FDCA with remarkable…
