CHEMSUSCHEM 2025; 18:e202402033. [PMID: 40052696 DOI: 10.1002/cssc.202402033] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/19/2024] [Revised: 03/04/2025] [Accepted: 03/05/2025] [Indexed: 03/25/2025]
Abstract
Owing to their unique redox behaviour and structural versatility, cobalt hydroxide/cobalt oxide-based nanomaterials have emerged as promising materials for energy storage. However, the interrelation between coordination environment of Co2+ and its effect on their electrochemical behaviour remains unexplored. α-Co(OH)₂ contains Co2+ in octahedral coordination (Co2+ Oh). However, careful engineering of Co2+ coordination to tetrahedral (Co2+ Td) can significantly affect the supercapacitive performance. Herein, a simple homogeneous precipitation method is used to achieve this transformation. At low concentration of Co salt (5 mmol), pink-coloured α-Co(OH)₂ nanoflakes (Co(OH)₂-PP) are formed with only Co2+ Oh, whereas at higher concentration of cobalt salt (50 mmol), blue colored α-Co(OH)₂ nanorods (Co(OH)₂-BP) are formed with both Co2+ Oh and Co2+ Td. The maximum specific capacity reached 167.5 C g-1 for Co(OH)₂-BP which showed ~200 % increment as compared to α-Co(OH)₂-PP at 10 mV s-1. The enhancement results from favourable transformation of Co2+ Td to electroactive Co3+ in CoOOH, high surface area (99 m2 g-1) and small crystallite size (23.5 nm) of Co(OH)₂-BP. α-Co(OH)₂ was thermally decomposed to obtain Co3O4 nanoparticles. The specific capacity of Co₃O₄ nanoparticles derived from Co(OH)₂-BP and Co(OH)₂-PP are 136.3 C g-1 and 110.7 C g-1, respectively, the fomer showing only a marginal increase in specific capacity. An asymmetric supercapacitor device based on Co(OH)₂-BP//rGO exhibits peak energy density of 14.6 W h kg-1 and peak power density of ~12 kW kg-1. The insights from this study will significantly impact the development of advanced energy storage materials.

Abstract
Hydrogen (H2), as a high-energy-density molecule, offers a clean solution to carry energy. However, the high diffusivity and low volumetric density of H2 pose a challenge for long-term storage and transportation. Liquid organic hydrogen carriers (LOHCs) have been suggested as a strategic way to store and transport hydrogen in stable molecules. More so, electrochemical LOHC cycling renders an opportunity to utilize renewable energy for hydrogen storage and transportation toward the goal of eliminating carbon emissions. In this Perspective, examples of electrochemical reactions of organic molecules and their suitability for LOHC couples are examined. A comparative carbon footprint assessment of electrochemical LOHC cycling processes against thermochemical and hybrid LOHC cycling processes was performed. The electrochemical LOHC cycling process had the lowest relative carbon footprint only when highly concentrated LOHCs were used as the feed or when purification of the LOHC product was not required. The carbon footprint in electrochemical cycling of diluted LOHC was primarily contributed to by the LOHC distillation separation process. A sensitivity analysis showed the carbon footprint LOHC concentration dependence during the electrochemical cycling process. Moreover, the electrolyte composition significantly affects the carbon footprint during electrochemical LOHC cycling. Energy utilization, water usage, and toxicity for electrochemical LOHC cycling are discussed to provide an overview for better economic and environmental practices. There are significant opportunities in the electrochemical cycling of LOHCs if appropriate conditions such as high concentrations of reactant, reversible redox cycling ability, high Faradaic efficiencies, and catalyst stabilities are achieved.

Abstract
Anodic oxidation assisted hydrogen production under mild conditions powered by renewable electricity represents a sustainable approach to energy conversion systems. Here, we fabricated a versatile and universal self-supported nanoarray platform that can be intelligently edited to achieve adaptive electrocatalysis for alcohol oxidation reactions and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). The obtained self-supported nanoarray electrocatalysts exhibit excellent catalytic activity due to the integration of multiple merits of rich nanointerface-reconstruction and self-supported hierarchical structures. Particularly, the membrane-free pair-electrolysis system coupling HER and ethylene glycol oxidation reaction (EGOR) required an applied voltage of only 1.25 V to drive the current density of 10 mA cm-2, which is about 510 mV lower than that of the overall water splitting, showing the capability to simultaneously produce H2 and formate with high Faradic efficiency and stability. This work demonstrates a catalytic self-supported nanoarray platform for energy-efficient production of high-purity H2 and value-added chemicals.

Abstract
Au and Pt are well-known catalysts for electrocatalytic oxidation of biomass-derived glycerol. Although some nonprecious-metal-based materials to replace the costly Au and Pt are used for this reaction, the fundamental question of how the nonprecious catalysts affect the reaction chemistry and mechanism compared to Au and Pt catalysts is still unanswered. In this work, both experimental and computational methods are used to understand how and why the reaction performance and chemistry for the electrocatalytic glycerol oxidation reaction (EGOR) change with electrochemically-synthesized CuCo-oxide, Cu-oxide, and Co-oxide catalysts compared to conventional Au and Pt catalysts. The Au and Pt catalysts generate major glyceric acid and glycolic acid products from the EGOR. Interestingly, the prepared Cu-based oxides produce glycolic acid and formic acid with high selectivity of about 90.0%. This different reaction chemistry is related to the enhanced ability of CC bond cleavage on the Cu-based oxide materials. The density functional theory calculations demonstrate that the formic acids are mainly formed on the Cu-based oxide surfaces rather than in the process of glycolic acid formation in the free energy diagram. This study provides critical scientific insights into developing future nonprecious-based materials for electrochemical biomass conversions.

Abstract
This article presents a study on the effect of the hydroxyl group position on the electro-oxidation of butanediols, including 1,2-butanediol, 2,3-butanediol, 1,3-butanediol, and 1,4-butanediol. The effect of the hydroxyl group position in butanediols on their electro-oxidation reactivities is investigated by cyclic voltammetry, linear sweep voltammetry, chronopotentiometry and chronoamperometry in 1.0 M KOH. The results show that the closer the two hydroxyl groups are, the higher the reactivity, and the lower the anodic potential butanediol has. Moreover, the oxidation products from chronoamperometry are analyzed by means of HPLC and NMR. Some value-added products, such as 3-hydroxypropionic acid/3-hydroxypropionate, are produced. The DFT calculation indicates that the oxidation of vicinal diols responds to the conversion from a hydroxyl group to a carboxylate group, followed by C-C bond cleavage, where the carbon charge decreases. These results provide an insight into reactant selection for the electrochemical synthesis of value-added chemicals.

Abstract
Glycerol is a byproduct of biodiesel production and can be a low-cost source for some high-value C1-C3 chemicals. The conversion can be achieved by photo-, thermo-, and electro-catalysis methods. The electrocatalytic oxidation method is attractive due to its moderate reaction conditions and high electron to product efficiency. Most reported catalysts are based on noble metals, while metal oxides are rarely reported. Here, we investigated the electro-oxidation of glycerol on a series of ZnFexCo2-xO4 (x = 0, 0.4, 1.0, 1.4, and 2.0) spinel oxides. Seven types of value-added C1-C3 products including formate, glycolate, lactate, and glycerate can be obtained by this approach. The selectivity and Faraday efficiency toward these products can be tuned by adjusting the Fe/Co ratio and other experimental parameters, such as the applied potential, glycerol concentration, and electrolyte pH.

Abstract
Selective oxidation of higher alcohols using heterogeneous catalysts is an important reaction in the synthesis of fine chemicals with added value. Though the process for primary alcohol oxidation is industrially established, there is still a lack of fundamental understanding considering the complexity of the catalysts and their dynamics under reaction conditions, especially when higher alcohols and liquid-phase reaction media are involved. Additionally, new materials should be developed offering higher activity, selectivity, and stability. This can be achieved by unraveling the structure-performance correlations of these catalysts under reaction conditions. In this regard, researchers are encouraged to develop more advanced characterization techniques to address the complex interplay between the solid surface, the dissolved reactants, and the solvent. In this mini-review, we report some of the most important approaches taken in the field and give a perspective on how to tackle the complex challenges for different approaches in alcohol oxidation while providing insight into the remaining challenges.

Abstract
Integrating electrolytic hydrogen production from water with thermodynamically more favorable aqueous organic oxidation reactions is highly desired, because it can enhance the energy conversion efficiency in relation to traditional water electrolysis, and produce value-added chemicals instead of oxygen at the anode. In this Minireview, we introduce some key considerations for anodic auxiliary electrosynthesis and outline three types of electrocatalytic organic reactions including biomass derivative, alcohol and amine oxidation reactions, which can boost cathodic hydrogen generation. Furthermore, frequently used noble-metal-free electrocatalysts are classified into nickel-based, cobalt-based, other transition-metal-based and bimetallic electrocatalysts. The preparation methods of these catalysts and their performance towards electrochemical oxidation reactions are also discussed in detail. We specifically highlight the importance of redox active sites on the surface of the electrocatalysts, which act as electron mediators to promote oxidation reactions. Finally, the current challenges and future developments in this emerging field are also discussed.

Abstract
Cost is a major drawback that limits the industrial-scale hydrogen production through water electrolysis. The overall cost of this technology can be decreased by coupling the electrosynthesis of value-added chemicals at the anode side with electrolytic hydrogen generation at the cathode. This Minireview provides a directory of anodic oxidation reactions that can be combined with cathodic hydrogen generation. The important parameters for selecting the anodic reactions, such as choice of catalyst material and its selectivity towards specific products are elaborated in detail. Furthermore, various novel electrolysis cell architectures for effortless separation of value-added products from hydrogen gas are described.

Abstract
In this work, we synthesized ultrathin Rh nanosheets (Rh-NSs) with atomic thickness, which revealed excellent activity for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and super activity and extraordinary selectivity for the isopropanol oxidation reaction (IOR) in alkaline medium. When using Rh-NSs as a bifunctional electrocatalyst for water electrolysis in the presence of isopropanol, a voltage of only 0.4 V was required for H2 production, accompanied by the production of valuable acetone at the anode.

Abstract
The continuous advance in exploring renewable energy resources such as solar and wind will certainly alleviate our reliance on limited fossil reserves. However, the sustainable development of mankind demands not only energy but also carbon-based chemical goods. Unfortunately, exploitation of renewable energy resources like solar and wind will not lead to any carbon-based chemicals. The only sustainable and green carbon source is biomass, the scale of annual production of which has an immense potential to complement that of fossil-derived carbons. To utilize biomass in economically effective ways, many catalytic processes have been investigated. Among various strategies of biomass refinery, electrocatalytic upgrading stands out as an attractive option because of its benign operation conditions, high energy efficiency, and convenient control on production rate and selectivity using electrochemical parameters. This Minireview showcases several electrocatalytic systems for both reductive and oxidative upgrading of representative biomass-derived intermediate compounds, including 5-hydroxymethylfurfural, furfural, levulinic acid, glycerol, and sorbitol to different value-added products. The catalytic routes and mechanisms of each biomass-derived platform compound are discussed and compared. In order to be feasible for large-scale applications, low-cost composition and preparation of electrocatalysts are mandatory and will be emphasized. Finally, our personal perspective on the current challenges and future directions of electrocatalytic biomass upgrading is presented.
