Abstract

Platelike carbon-encapsulated nickel nanocrystals (Ni@C) were engineered as a high-performance electrocatalyst for the conversion of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) to 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA). This electrocatalyst demonstrated remarkable electrocatalytic performance in oxidizing HMF at a low potential, achieving 100% HMF conversion, 97.7% FDCA yield, and 97.4% Faraday efficiency (FE).
