Enhanced surface reconstruction of V-doped Ni3N driven by strong OH adsorption to boost 5-hydroxymethylfurfural electrooxidation for energy-saving H2 production

The 5%V-Ni 3 N exhibits high efficiency for the 5-hydroxymethylfurfural oxidation reaction for boosting energy-saving H 2 production. The doped V could strengthen the OH adsorption for enhancing the surface reconstruction to active (oxy)hydroxide sites.
