This strategy involves a voltage-gated electro-adsorption of Ru₄POM on CNH-modified glassy carbon anodes with favorable interfacial dynamics, maintained under electrocatalytic conditions. These conditions are reached through the continuous reconstruction of the organic/inorganic interface (catch-and-release), as probed by converging thermal, microscopic, and electrochemical Journal of the American Chemical Society34840-34848https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC12464969biostudies-literatureDirect Conversion of Ethanol to Ethyl Acetate by Dynamic Polyoxometalate/Carbon Nanohorn Electrocatalytic Interfaces.PMC12464969Durr RNCacioppo MBonchio MBassan EBogo AGuazzi SArias-Ferreiro GPrato MfalseDirect Conversion of Ethanol to Ethyl Acetate by Dynamic Polyoxometalate/Carbon Nanohorn Electrocatalytic Interfaces.The electrosynthesis of ethyl acetate (EtOAc) by oxidative esterification of aqueous (up to 20% water) ethanol (EtOH) is performed by employing the tetraruthenate polyoxometalate [Ru₄(μ-O)₄(μ-OH)₂(H₂O)₄(γ-SiW₁₀O₃₆)₂]^10- (Ru₄POM) electrocatalyst with carbon nanohorns (CNHs) as a heterogeneous support.
