Electrocatalytic conversion of biomass-derived intermediates is a green route to value-added chemicals. However, this technology is just emerging and the mechanisms of this process are not fully resolved. Here, we present the first operando Raman spectroscopic investigation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural oxidation on gold nanoparticle surfaces, opening up avenues for understanding such reactivity and for rational systems design.
电催化转化生物质衍生中间体是一种绿色的增值化学品途径。然而，这项技术刚刚出现，其过程的机制尚未完全解决。在这里，我们首次进行了金纳米粒子表面上 5-羟甲基糠醛氧化的现场拉曼光谱研究，为理解这种反应性和合理的系统设计开辟了途径。
