Ni-decorated carbon nanotubes (CNTs) derived from ethanol for electrooxidation of furan derivatives featuring H2 production†
Abstract
This study explores advancements in concurrent biorefinery and hydrogen production using Ni-decorated CNTs derived from bioethanol as electrocatalysts, showing the complete conversion of furan derivatives to the desired products with 95–97% selectivity and a hydrogen production rate of 75 μmol h−1. These findings highlight the simultaneous upgrading of biomass-derived compounds and hydrogen production.
