Title: Advances in Electrochemical Modification Strategies of 5‐Hydroxymethylfurfural
Abstract The development of electrochemical catalytic conversion of 5‐hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) has recently gained attention as a potentially scalable approach for both oxidation and reduction processes yielding value‐added products. While the possibility of electrocatalytic HMF transformations has been demonstrated, this growing research area is in its initial stages. Additionally, its practical applications remain limited due to low catalytic activity and product selectivity. Understanding the catalytic processes and design of electrocatalysts are important in achieving a selective and complete conversion into the desired highly valuable products. In this Minireview, an overview of the most recent status, advances, and challenges of oxidation and reduction processes of HMF was provided. Discussion and summary of voltammetric studies and important reaction factors (e. g., catalyst type, electrode material) were included. Finally, biocatalysts (e. g., enzymes, whole cells) were introduced for HMF modification, and future opportunities to combine biocatalysts with electrochemical methods for the production of high‐value chemicals from HMF were discussed.  more » « less

    The increasing demand for green chemical products calls for the exploration of sustainable and renewable carbon resources beyond fossil-based materials, whose utilization inevitably results in environmental concerns. As such, biomass valorisation has attracted increasing attention because biomass is the most widely available and sustainable carbon source. Among the available biomass-derived platform chemicals, 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) has long been regarded as an attractive candidate for the production of numerous value-added products. Nevertheless, the poor stability, and difficult separation and purification of HMF from fructose dehydration significantly inhibit its large-scale application. Herein, we report a two-step process for the direct production of two biopolymer precursors, 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) and 2,5-bis(hydroxymethyl)furan (BHMF), from fructose, bypassing the isolation of HMF. FDCA and BHMF are much easier to separate and purify from the reaction mixture than HMF, and they both can replace petroleum-based counterparts in the syntheses of many industrially important polymers, ranging from polyesters to polyamides. Optimized fructose dehydration under microwave irradiation achieved a high HMF yield (83%) using a biphasic strategy. The subsequent electrocatalytic conversion of the resulting microwave reaction mixture allowed us to carry out either oxidation or reduction via readily tuning the electrochemical parameters to yield FDCA or BHMF, respectively. The integration of microwave irradiation and electrocatalysis in a flow electrolyzer enabled the direct conversion of readily available fructose to highly valuable FDCA and BHMF without the expensive and challenging step of HMF isolation, suggesting an economically attractive approach for upgrading carbohydrates.

    Biomass is abundant, inexpensive and renewable, therefore, it is highly expected to play a significant role in our future energy and chemical landscapes. The US DOE has identified furanic compounds (furfural and 5-(hydroxymethyl)furfural (HMF)) as the top platform building-block chemicals that can be readily derived from biomass sources [1]. Electrocatalytic conversion of these furanic compounds is an emerging route for the sustainable production of valuable chemicals [2, 3]. In my presentation, I will first present our recent mechanistic study of electrochemical reduction of furfural through a combination of voltammetry, preparative electrolysis, thiol-electrode modifications, and kinetic isotope studies [4]. It is demonstrated that two distinct mechanisms are operable on metallic Cu electrodes in acidic electrolytes: (i) electrocatalytic hydrogenation (ECH) and (ii) direct electroreduction. The contributions of each mechanism to the observed product distribution are clarified by evaluating the requirement for direct chemical interactions with the electrode surface and the role of adsorbed hydrogen. Further analysis reveals that hydrogenation and hydrogenolysis products are generated by parallel ECH pathways. Understanding the underlying mechanisms enables the manipulation of furfural reduction by rationally tuning the electrode potential, electrolyte pH, and furfural concentration to promote selective formation of important bio-based polymer precursors and fuels. Next, I will present electrocatalytic conversion of HMF to two biobased monomers in an H-type electrochemical cell [5]. HMF reduction (hydrogenation) to 2,5-bis(hydroxymethyl)furan (BHMF) was achieved under mild electrolyte conditions and ambient temperature using a Ag/C cathode. Meanwhile, HMF oxidation to 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) with ~100% efficiency was facilitated under the same conditions by a homogeneous nitroxyl radical redox mediator, together with an inexpensive carbon felt anode. The selectivity and efficiency for Ag-catalyzed BHMF formation were sensitive to cathode potential, owing to competition from HMF hydrodimerization reactions and water reduction (hydrogen evolution). Moreover, the carbon support of Ag/C was active for HMF reduction and contributed to undesired dimer/oligomer formation at strongly cathodic potentials. As a result, high BHMF selectivity and efficiency were only achieved within a narrow potential range near –1.3 V. Fortunately, the selectivity of redox-mediated HMF oxidation was insensitive to anode potential, thus allowing HMF hydrogenation and oxidation half reactions to be performed together in a single cathode-potential-controlled cell. Electrocatalytic HMF conversion in a paired cell achieved high molar yields of BHMF and FDCA, and nearly doubled electron efficiency compared to the unpaired cell. Finally, I will briefly introduce our recent work on the development of a three-electrode flow cell with an oxide-derived Ag (OD-Ag) cathode and catbon felt anode for paring elecatalytic oxidation and reduction of HMF. The flow cell has a remarkable cell voltage reduction from ~7.5 V to ~2.0 V by transferring the electrolysis from the H-type cell to the flow cell [6]. This represents a more than fourfold increase in the energy efficiency at the 10 mA operation. A combined faradaic efficiency of 163% was obtained to BHMF and FDCA. Alternatively, the anodic hydrogen oxidation reaction on platinum further reduced the cell voltage to only ~0.85 V at 10 mA operation. These paired processes have shown potential for integrating renewable electricity and carbon for distributed chemical manufacturing in the future.

    Abstract Pairing the electrocatalytic hydrogenation (ECH) reaction with different anodic reactions holds great promise for producing value‐added chemicals driven by renewable energy sources. Replacing the sluggish water oxidation with a bio‐based upgrading reaction can reduce the overall energy cost and allows for the simultaneous generation of high‐value products at both electrodes. Herein, we developed a membrane‐electrode assembly (MEA)‐based electrolysis system for the conversion of 5‐(hydroxymethyl)furfural (HMF) to bis(hydroxymethyl)furan (BHMF) and 2,5‐furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA). With (2,2,6,6‐tetramethylpiperidin‐1‐yl)oxyl (TEMPO)‐mediated electrochemical oxidation (ECO) of HMF at the anode, the unique zero‐gap configuration enabled a minimal cell voltage of 1.5 V at 10 mA, which was stable during a 24‐hour period of continuous electrolysis, resulting in a combined faradaic efficiency (FE) as high as 139 % to BHMF and FDCA. High FE was also obtained in a pH‐asymmetric mediator‐free configuration, in which the ECO was carried out in 0.1 M KOH with an electrodeposited NiFe oxide catalyst and a bipolar membrane. Taking advantage of the low cell resistance of the MEA‐based system, we also explored ECH of HMF at high current density (280 mA cm−2), in which a FE of 24 % towards BHMF was achieved. The co‐generated H2was supplied into a batch reactor in tandem for the catalytic hydrogenation of furfural or benzaldehyde under ambient conditions, resulting in an additional 7.3 % of indirect FE in a single‐pass operation. The co‐electrolysis of bio‐derived molecules and the tandem electrocatalytic‐catalytic process provide sustainable avenues towards distributed, flexible, and energy‐efficient routes for the synthesis of valuable chemicals.

    Abstract Among many biomass‐derived intermediate compounds, 5‐hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) has been regarded as a platform chemical because it can be used to produce numerous valuable products. However, the difficulty of HMF isolation from reaction media coupled with its poor stability have significantly inhibited its large‐scale production and application. In this work, we report a single‐step process for the direct production of HMF from glucose using green chemical methods. Optimized glucose isomerization and dehydration under microwave irradiation achieved a respectable HMF yield (70 %) using a biphasic solvent mixture (water/THF), high glucose concentration (30 % w/v), catalytic amounts of AlCl3(5 mol%) and HCl (15 mol%). The reaction can be completed within minutes at 165 °C. Overall, our microwave‐assisted strategy enables the direct conversion of commercially available glucose to the highly valuable platform chemical HMF without the use of expensive solvents or catalysts, suggesting an economically attractive approach for upgrading carbohydrates.

Understanding the underlying mechanisms enables the manipulation of furfural reduction by rationally tuning the electrode potential, electrolyte pH, and furfural concentration to promote selective formation of important bio-based polymer precursors and fuels We further studied the mechanisms on the Pb electrode, based on the potential regulated ECH and ER products. Isotopic incorporation studies and electrokinetics have confirmed ECH process to alcohol and alkyl product followed different pathways: alcohol was generated from Langmuir Hinshelwood step through surface-bound furfural and hydrogen, which is sensitive to surface structures. In contrast, alkyl product was formed through an Eley–Rideal step via surface-bound furfural and the inner-sphere protons. By modifying the electrode/electrolyte interface, we have elucidated H2O and H3O+ matters in forming alcohol and alkyl products, respectively. Dynamic oscillation studies and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) finally confirmed that the alcohol and dimer products shared the same intermediate. The dimer was formed through the intermediate desorption from the surface to form radicals and the self-coupling of two radicals at the bulk electrolyte. Next, I will present electrocatalytic conversion of HMF to two biobased monomers in an H-type electrochemical cell [5].
