Abstract
Correction for ‘Simultaneous generation of furfuryl alcohol, formate, and H2 by co-electrolysis of furfural and HCHO over bifunctional CuAg bimetallic electrocatalysts at ultra-low voltage’ by Liang Zhao et al., Energy Environ. Sci., 2024, https://doi.org/10.1039/d3ee03761d.
Multiple incorrect uses of the term ‘furfuryl’ occurred in several locations throughout this manuscript where the term ‘furfural’ should have been used instead. These are listed as follows:
The manuscript title should read: ‘Simultaneous generation of furfuryl alcohol, formate, and H2 by co-electrolysis of furfural and HCHO over bifunctional CuAg bimetallic electrocatalysts at ultra-low voltage’. This has also been corrected in the title and abstract shown above.
The second sentence of the abstract should read as follows: ‘One promising approach for the simultaneous production of these chemicals is coupling cathodic furfural electrochemical hydrogenation (FEH) with anodic formaldehyde oxidation reaction (FOR) in an electrolyzer using bifunctional electrocatalysts.’
The fourth sentence of the broader context statement should read as follows: ‘The bifunctional catalysts (CuxAgy/CF) were designed for cathodic electroreduction from furfural to furfuryl alcohol and anodic electrooxidation from formaldehyde to formate.’
The fifth sentence of the introduction should read as follows: ‘In contrast, furfural electrochemical hydrogenation (FEH) is a particularly important and environmentally friendly approach to obtaining FA,11–13 showing the potential to realize mass production of FA in a more sustainable manner.14–17’
In the supplementary information, the title underneath ‘Supporting Information’ should read as follows: ‘Simultaneous generation of furfuryl alcohol, formate, and H2 by co-electrolysis of furfural and HCHO over bifunctional CuAg bimetallic electrocatalysts at ultra-low voltage’.
The fourth item listed under the ‘Chemicals and Materials’ section of the supplementary information should read as follows: ‘Furfural (99.9%, Aladdin)’.
The Royal Society of Chemistry apologises for these errors and any consequent inconvenience to authors and readers.
