Interface engineering of 2D NiFe LDH/NiFeS heterostructure for highly efficient 5-hydroxymethylfurfural electrooxidation
The electrochemical oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) to valuable chemicals is an efficient way to upgrade biomass molecules and replace traditional catalytic synthesis. It is crucial to develop efficient and low-cost earth-abundant electrocatalysts to enhance catalytic performance of HMF oxidation. Herein, a new type of two-dimensional (2D) hybrid arrays consisting of NiFe layered double hydroxides (LDH) nanosheets and bimetallic sulfide (NiFeS) is constructed via interface engineering for efficient electrocatalytic oxidation of HMF to 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA). The preparation process of 2D NiFe LDH/NiFeS with ultrathin heterostructure involves in anchoring a Co-based metal-organic framework (Co MOF) as template onto the carbon cloth (CC) via in-situ growth, formation of NiFe LDH on the surface of Co MOF and subsequent partial sulfidation. The electrocatalyst of NiFe LDH/NiFeS exhibits outstanding performance towards HMF oxidation, about 98.5% yield for FDCA and 97.2% Faraday efficiency (FE) in the alkaline electrolyte with 10 mmol/L HMF, as well as excellent stability retaining 90.1% FE for FDCA after six cycles test. Moreover, even at an HMF concentration of 100 mmol/L, the yield and FE for FDCA remain high at 83.6% and 93.6%, respectively. These findings highlight that 2D heterostructure containing abundant interfaces between NiFe LDH nanosheets and NiFeS can enhance the intrinsic activity of LDH and thus promote the oxidation reaction kinetics. Additionally, the synergistic effect of the bimetallic NiFe compounds also improved the selectivity of HMF conversion to FDCA. Our present work demonstrates that constructing 2D ultrathin heterostructure of NiFe LDH/NiFeS is a facile strategy via interface engineering to enhance the intrinsic activity of LDH electrocatalysts, which would open new avenues toward low-cost and advanced 2D nanocatalysts for sustainable energy conversion and electrochemical valorization of biomass derivatives.
