A series of 3D self-standing PtRu/Ni(OH)(2)/NF electrodes were fabricated for electrocatalytic hydrogenation of benzoic acid. The unique coral-shaped architecture of the PtRu/Ni(OH)(2) electrocatalyst possesses excellent charge transfer ability and abundant active sites. The optimized electrode achieved high conversion and selectivity rates for benzoic acid in 0.05 M H2SO4, with a record faradaic efficiency and high performance during multiple cycles.
A series of 3D self-standing PtRu/Ni(OH)(2)/NF electrodes is fabricated for electrocatalytic hydrogenation (ECH) of benzoic acid (BA) to cyclohexanecarboxylic acid (CCA). The PtRu/Ni(OH)(2) electrocatalyst with a unique coral-shaped architecture possesses outstanding charge transfer ability and abundant active sites. The optimized electrode achieves a BA conversion of 99.00% and a CCA selectivity of 100% in 0.05 M H2SO4 within 80 min, showing a record faradaic efficiency of 43.90% and high performance during 20 cycles of ECH. In situ Raman tests verify the mechanism of the selective hydrogenation of the aromatic ring and density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal that the electronic interaction between Pt and Ru in the PtRu nanoalloy as well as the electron transfer from the PtRu alloy to the Ni(OH)(2) nanosheet tunes the electronic states of PtRu/Ni(OH)(2), thereby enhancing the adsorption strength of BA on the electrocatalyst surface. This work offers a promising alternative to the traditional catalytic hydrogenation of BA.
