High-Entropy Engineering in Hollow Layered Hydroxide Arrays to Boost 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural Electrooxidation by Suppressing Oxygen Evolution.

ABSTRACT: The electricity-driven 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) oxidation reaction has exhibited increasing potential to produce high-value-added 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA). Unfortunately, the competitive oxygen evolution reaction (OER) can decrease the yield and Faradaic efficiency (FE) of FDCA under high potentials. Here, we report a general MOF-templated strategy to construct a new class of hollow high-entropy layered hydroxide array (HE-LHA) electrocatalysts including quinary, senary, and septenary phases composed of CoNiMnCuZn with Cd and Mg on carbon cloth (CC) for boosting the HMF oxidation reaction (HMFOR) by suppressing the OER. Impressively, the septenary CC@CoNiMnCuZnCdMg-LHA exhibits a low potential of 1.42 V_RHE for the HMFOR but a high potential of 1.68 V_RHE
