Abstract:
This study explores advancements in concurrent biorefinery and hydrogen production using Ni-decorated CNTs derived from bioethanol as electrocatalysts, showing the complete conversion of furan derivatives to the desired products with 95-97% selectivity and a hydrogen production rate of 75 μmol h-1. These findings highlight the simultaneous upgrading of biomass-derived compounds and hydrogen production.
