Reconciling Activity and Selectivity in Photocatalytic HMF Oxidation over PtCo/g-C3N4 via d-Band Center Engineering
Selective photocatalytic oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) to 2,5-diformylfuran (DFF) is limited by an inherent activity-selectivity trade-off, arising from a mismatch between rapid charge transfer and controlled intermediate desorption. Herein, we present a thermodynamic-kinetic dual-regulation strategy usi...
