Abstract

In this work, experimental and theoretical analyses reveal that different types of Cu wires significantly change the adsorption properties of reactant molecules and the benzyl alcohol oxidation reaction performance. In particular, CuO nanowires in situ grown on Cu foam exhibit the best performance with a low potential of 1.39 V at a current density of 200 mA cm⁻², high selectivity to benzoic acid production, and good operational stability.
