2,5-Furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) has received increasing attention as a near-market platform chemical that can potentially replace terephthalic in the production of commercial and high-performance polymers, such polyethylene terephthalate. FDCA be obtained from oxidation 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), which is produced dehydration C-6 monosaccharides cellulosic biomass. Recently, various heterogeneous Ni- Co-based electrocatalysts were reported efficiently oxidize HMF to FDCA. The actual...
2,5-Furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) is a key near-market platform chemical that can potentially replace terephthalic in various polyesters such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET). FDCA be obtained from oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), which derived cellulosic biomass through isomerization and dehydration hexoses. In this study, electrochemical HMF to demonstrated using Cu, one the cheapest transition metals, catalytic anode. The oxidized Cu surface not for water oxidation, major...
2,5-Furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) is a near-market monomer that has been identified as viable biomass-derived replacement for petroleum-derived terephthalic in the synthesis of polyethylene terephthalate (PET). FDCA can be produced from oxidation 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), which versatile biomass intermediate dehydration C-6 monosaccharides obtained cellulosic biomass. In this study, we comparatively investigated use 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl (TEMPO) and 4-acetamido-TEMPO...
Solid contact ion-selective electrodes (ISEs) typically have an intermediate layer between the membrane and underlying solid electron conductor that is designed to reduce irreproducibility instability of measured electromotive force (emf). Nevertheless, electrode-to-electrode reproducibility emf current ISEs widely considered be unsatisfactory. To address this problem, we report here a new method constructing based on lipophilic redox buffer consisting Co(III) Co(II) complexes...
Recent studies investigating the electrocatalytic properties of nitroxyl radicals (e.g. 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl (TEMPO)) for electrochemical alcohol oxidation have demonstrated that thermodynamic equilibrium potential and steric environments unique to each radical significant implications their abilities oxidation. However, as catalytic cycle involves not only production use oxoammonium cation but also regeneration from hydroxylamine, mechanism rate critically affect overall...
