Abstract

A Mn-doped Ni₂P electrocatalyst with a unique microstructure of nanocrystal-decorated amorphous nanosheets was, for the first time, reported for the electrooxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) to 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA). This electrocatalyst demonstrated superior HMF electrooxidation performance with 100% HMF conversion, 98.0% FDCA yield, and 97.8% Faraday efficiency.
