Converting biomass-derived compounds into high-value products is a significant scientific challenge, and this study demonstrates the simultaneous electro-oxidation/-reduction of furfural using bipolar electrochemistry. A selective conversion of furfural into furfuryl alcohol and furoic acid is achieved by employing bifunctional Pt/Au Janus electrocatalysts.
The sustainable conversion of biomass-derived compounds into high added-value products is a very important contemporary scientific challenge. In this context, we report here the simultaneous electro-oxidation/-reduction of a biomass-derived compound in a one-pot approach using bipolar electrochemistry. Bifunctional Pt/Au Janus electrocatalysts are employed for a selective conversion of furfural into both, furfuryl alcohol and furoic acid, which can't be achieved when using non-Janus particles. The results emphasize the benefits of bipolar electrochemistry in the frame of electrosynthesis processes.
