Self-assembled ion pairs are deposited onto a graphite electrode surface by dipping the electrode sequentially into phthalocyanine cations and anions, or a phthalocyanine cation and porphyrin anion. The electrochemical properties of these surface-bound ion pairs are compared with the properties of the individual surface-bound components. The order of deposition is shown to be crucial, implying that these species lie flat on the surface. A detailed study of the electrocatalytic oxidation of oxalate anion is used to explore their reactivity as a function of deposition order.

: Simultaneous electrocatalytic conversion of biomass into high-value products and electrolysis of water for hydrogen are promising strategies to relieve the fossil energy crisis. Herein, we overview the recent advances and perspectives in the electrocatalytic oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) and water reduction to synchronously produce value-added 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) and hydrogen fuel. Two strategies of bifunctional electrocatalysts and redox mediators are discussed. Oxidation of HME to FDCA was found to be more thermodynamically and kinetically favorable than the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Moreover, the opportunities and challenges brought by them are presented.

The electrochemical production of 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) from 5-(hydroxymethyl)furfural (HMF) is receiving growing attention. The FDCA-based polyethylene 2,5-furan dicarboxylate (PEF) polymer is a green candidate for substituting polyethylene terephthalate. This work demonstrated a highly efficient CoB/g-C3N4 nanosheet on the surface of the nickel foam as an electrode for the HMF electrooxidation reaction. Electrolysis at a constant potential combined with liquid chromatography showed the formation of FDCA with a yield of 97% with an excellent faradaic efficiency of near 95%. CoB/g-C3N4 achieved a current density of 20 mA cm−2 for HMF oxidation in 1.0 M KOH with 10 mM HMF at 1.37 V vs. RHE before the competing oxygen evolution reaction. The electrocatalyst was effectively reused up to three times without compromising efficiency. This work demonstrates a cheap and active electrocatalyst material for the electrochemical formation of FDCA from HMF and gives perception into the reaction mechanism.
