Title: Speciation of potential-dependent fouling on copper foil electrodes during electrochemical hydrogenation and hydrogenolysis of furfural in strong acid

Journal Article · · Green Chemistry
DOI: https://doi.org/10.1039/D3GC02222F · OSTI ID:2007131

Electrode fouling can occur during furfural electroreduction to desired polymer intermediates and fuel additives in acidic electrolytes. The fouled material speciation is potential-dependent and can be mitigated by using lower concentrations of furfural.
