This study explores sucrose electro-oxidation as an alternative anodic reaction for the production of valuable chemicals. By developing a reversible redox cycle in CoNi layered double hydroxide, the voltage required for sucrose oxidation is significantly reduced compared to oxygen evolution. A solar-driven electrolyser is assembled to co-produce formic acid and hydrogen from natural sugarcane juice, demonstrating a sustainable approach for integrating hydrogen production and biomass electrooxidation for energy applications.
The major bottleneck in self-powered water splitting devices by renewable energy lies in the kinetically sluggish oxygen evolution reaction (OER), which only produces low-value oxygen. Herein, we explore sucrose electro-oxidation as an alternative anodic reaction for production of valuable chemicals at a reduced electricity con-sumption. By developing a reversible redox cycle of Ni2+/Ni3+ and Co2+/Co3+ in the CoNi layered double hydroxide (LDH), the required voltage of sucrose oxidation for 100 mA cm-2 is reduced by 240 mV compared to oxygen evolution. The sucrose electrooxidation by CoNi LDH is a two-step reaction including the electro-oxidation of Ni2+/Co2+ to Ni3+/Co3+ and the spontaneous reaction between Ni3+/Co3+ and sucrose. By feeding with natural sugarcane juice, a solar-driven electrolyser is assembled for the co-production of value-added formic acid and hydrogen. Our work demonstrates a sustainable route for integrating hydrogen production and biomass electrooxidation for energy applications.
