Ni–Co hexacyanoferrate hollow nanoprism with CN vacancy for electrocatalytic benzyl alcohol oxidation

Abstract

An innovative method to improve the oxidation efficiency of benzyl alcohol utilizes Ni–Co hexacyanoferrate hollow nanoprisms. Synthesized via a gentle self-sacrificial template method, this catalyst exhibits substantial catalytic activity and selectivity towards benzyl alcohol oxidation, facilitated by the strategic incorporation of Co to modulate CN vacancy density. Impressively, it achieves a current density of 10 mA cm−2 at 1.33 V and a remarkable 98% efficiency in benzyl alcohol conversion at 1.4 V.
