Abstract
It is significant that electrocatalytic water splitting for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) is oxidized as 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA). Herein, the monocrystal NiSbSn0.5O4.5 MEAO was synthesized, which shows good HMF oxidative reaction (HMFOR) sensitivity that the HMFOR potential is only 1.51 V at 10 mA cm−2, and the HMF is converted to FDCA with the Faradaic efficiency (FE) of 85.3 % at 1.2 V. Besides, the NiSbSn0.5O4.5 shows a low HER overpotential of 229 mV at 10 mA cm−2 in 1 M KOH + 0.1 M HMF, and the cell voltage is as low as 0.70 V at 10 mA cm−2. This work provides a potential avenue to design a ternary MEAO for electrocatalytic HER and HMFOR.
