Regulation of Catalyst Immediate Environment Enables Acidic Electrochemical Benzyl Alcohol Oxidation to Benzaldehyde

G. Shiva Shanker,

et al.

Abstract: Electrocatalytic alcohol oxidation in acid offers a promising alternative to the kinetically sluggish water oxidation reaction toward low-energy H 2 generation. However, electrocatalysts driving active and selective acidic alcohol electrochemical transformation are still scarce. In this work, we demonstrate efficient alcohol-to-aldehyde conversion achieved by reticular chemistry-based modification of the catalyst's immediate environment. Specifically, coating a Bi-based electrocatalyst with a thin layer of met… Show more

“…In addition to the design of Zr-MOF-based composites, in recent years, a few pioneering studies have started to use Zr-MOFs as porous membranes or modifying coatings on top of those non-MOF electrocatalysts. 66,68,187 With this approach, the electrical conductivity and catalytic activity of the porous Zr-MOF are no longer necessary, and the selection, design and preparation of the electrocatalyst and MOF can be fully decoupled. With the highly tunable porosity and intra-framework chemical functionality, we believe that Zr-MOFs as modifying coatings rather than the actual electrocatalysts can play more significant roles in a range of electrocatalytic processes in future studies.…”

“…Another recent example was reported by Hod and coworkers, demonstrating the coating of UiO-66 onto the catalytically active bismuth electrode to boost the activity for benzyl alcohol oxidation. 187 In the electrolyte containing 0.1 M of H 2 SO 4 , the Zr-MOF-coated electrode could achieve a better catalytic current density as well as a better selectivity towards the production of benzaldehyde compared to those achieved by the bare bismuth electrode. Rather than serving as the catalyst, the Zr-MOF here was reported to modulate the microenvironment near the underlying electrocatalyst through providing more hydroxide species and stabilising the desirable product; this concept is similar to that depicted in Fig.…”
