Large enhancement of electrochemical biomass oxidation by optimizing the competitive adsorption of HMF and OH⁻ on doped CoO_x

By doping transition metals into CoOx, we can regulate the deintercalation capacity of OH−. The CoCuOx with enriched oxygen vacancies allowed the optimization of the competitive adsorption between HMF and OH−, and accelerated the kinetics of HMFOR.
