Capturing critical gem-diol intermediates and hydride transfer for anodic hydrogen production from 5-hydroxymethylfurfural

Abstract The non-classical anodic H2 production from 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) is very appealing for energy-saving H2 production with value-added chemical conversion due to the low working potential (~0.1 V vs RHE). However, the reaction mechanism is still not clear due to the lack of direct evi...
