A polyoxometalate@covalent triazine framework as a robust electrocatalyst for selective benzyl alcohol oxidation coupled with hydrogen production

Abstract

Electrocatalytic oxidation has been proven as a sustainable and promising alternative to traditional chemical transformation, but its further development is limited by the use of noble-metal electrocatalysts.

Electrocatalytic valorization of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural coupled with hydrogen production using tetraruthenium-containing polyoxometalate-based composites

“…However, there are few reports on the electrocatalytic oxidation of biomass derivatives using POMs as electrocatalysts, especially while integrating with hydrogen production to construct a more valuable electrochemical coupling system. 37 Moreover, POMs, with a specific elemental composition and distinct geometric structure, could be easily used as a model catalyst to investigate catalytically active sites and the reaction mechanism. Therefore, it is an interesting topic to develop POM-based composite electrocatalysts to convert biomass into high value-added products and simultaneously produce hydrogen.…”

Advances in porous organic polymers: syntheses, structures, and diverse applications

“…PMO 10 V 2 @CTF functioned as catalyst for the production of benzaldehyde and H 2 through the oxidation of benzyl alcohol. 130 previously mentioned COFs (PyTA-BC, PyTA-BC-Ph), based on their excellent photophysical properties, as photocatalysts for H 2 evolution from water in the presence of a sacrificial electron donor.…”

Metal- and covalent organic frameworks as catalyst for organic transformation: Comparative overview and future perspectives

“…The cationic CTF was synthesized through the trimerization of 1,3-bis(4-cyanophenyl)imidazolium chloride precursor in molten ZnCl2 as the Lewis acidic trimerization catalyst. [145] Following a simple wet impregnation method, the PMo10V2@CTF catalyst was obtained. The electrostatic interaction between the PMo10V2 clusters and the cationic CTF support resulted in a highly robust and recyclable electrocatalyst.…”
