<i>In Situ</i> Electrochemical Conversion of Biomass-Derived 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural into 2,5-Furandicarboxylic Acid by Time-Controlled Aerosol-Assisted Chemical Vapor Deposited FeNi Catalyst.

ABSTRACT: The conversion of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) into valuable chemicals, such as 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA), is pivotal for sustainable chemical production, offering a renewable pathway to biodegradable plastics and high-value organic compounds. This pioneering study explores the synthesis of FeNi nanostructures via aerosol-assisted chemical vapor deposition (AACVD) for the electrochemical oxidation of HMF to FDCA. By adjusting the deposition time, we developed two distinct nanostructures: FeNi-40, which features nanowires with spherical terminations, and FeNi-80, which features aggregated spherical structures. X-ray diffraction (XRD) confirmed that both nanostructures possess a phase-pure face-centered cubic (FCC) crystal structure. Electrochemical tests conducted using FeNi nanoca
