Interface engineering of the NiO/CeO2@NF heterostructure to boost the electro-oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural

, which can regulate the electronic properties of Ce and Ni atoms, improve the oxidation state of Ni species, regulate intermediate adsorption, and promote electron/charge transfer, makes the most contribution to high HMFOR performance. This work will provide a simple route for the design of heterostructured materials and reveal the application prospect of interface engineering for promoting the upgrading of biomass derivatives.
