Direct photoelectrochemical oxidation of hydroxymethylfurfural on tungsten trioxide photoanodes

An important target reaction for solar-powered biomass valorization is the conversion of 2,5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) into key monomers for polyester production. Herein, photoanodes of WO 3 are demonstrated to directly photo-oxidize HMF in aqueous electrolyte (pH 4) under simulated solar illumina...
