Therefore, the strategy of researching sustainable and renewable novel energy sources to replace traditional non-renewable energy sources is urgent for human beings. As a renewable non-fossil fuel carbon source, biomass is a very valuable alternative to fossil energy, and has been increasingly regarded as a biomass energy source.

For example, the oxidation product of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural, 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (2, 5-furyldicarbonyl carboxylic acid), is one of twelve important biomass platform compounds listed in the U.S. department of energy, can be used as a monomer to prepare various biomass-based polymers, and has application prospects in organic synthesis and biopharmaceutical fields.
At present, in the traditional method for preparing 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid by catalytic oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural, the mainly used catalyst is a noble metal catalyst such as platinum (Pt), palladium (Pd) and gold (Au); there is also the catalytic production of 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid by means of carbon electrode materials. The existing methods have certain limitations, which are mainly reflected in that the cost of the noble metal catalyst is high or the reaction needs high temperature and high pressure; and the traditional carbon paper carbon felt and other porous carbon electrode materials have low mechanical strength and short cycle service life, while the traditional graphite and glassy carbon electrode materials have small specific surface area and high manufacturing cost. Therefore, a new catalytic oxidation technology needs to be developed to overcome the problems of high catalytic cost and the like in the catalytic oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural.

And 5-testing the electrochemical performance of the electrocatalytic oxidation of the hydroxymethylfurfural:
to investigate the OER performance of the catalyst material, tests were performed with a three-electrode system using a CHI-660C electrochemical workstation.

Finally, analysis of the sample using HPLC gave a conversion of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural and a yield of 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid. The conversion rate of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural and 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid is continuously increased along with the increase of time, when the reaction is carried out for 3 hours, the conversion rate of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural is 75 percent, and the yield of 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid is 62 percent; when the reaction is carried out for 6 hours, the conversion rate of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural is 95 percent, and the yield of 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid is 70 percent.

Wherein the concentration of the 5-hydroxymethylfurfural is 10 mM; the same surface area of the foamed carbon substrate is used for loading the binary LDH material with different components, and the electrocatalytic oxidation is carried out on 5-hydroxymethylfurfural with the concentration of 10mM under the same reaction condition and voltage. Different catalysts were prepared by using a carbon foam electrode substrate having the same size as that of example 2, and synthesizing hydrotalcite-based catalysts having different compositions (e.g., NiCo, NiCu, etc.) by changing the metal salt composition added in the hydrothermal treatment in example 2. Other properties, except for the difference in the supported active ingredient, were consistent with the catalytic electrode in example 2.
The concentrations of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural and product 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid in the solution after three hours of reaction were selected and the resulting yield of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF conversion/%) and 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid selectivity (FDCA selectivity/%) were calculated.
See table 1 for results; among them, the LDH with the NiFe binary component has the best 5-hydroxymethylfurfural yield and 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid selectivity, so the nickel-iron binary LDH material is preferred in the application.

The experiment of the electrode 1 and the catalytic electrode prepared in example 2 (referred to simply as the electrode 2) was repeated in accordance with the experimental method of electrocatalytic oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural in example 2.
FIG. 9 is a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) micrograph of a NiFe-catalyzed electrode of example 2, and FIG. 10 is a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) micrograph of electrode 1 of example 8 (showing substantial exfoliation after multiple reactions).
