Redox regulation of Ni hydroxides with controllable phase composition towards biomass-derived polyol electro-refinery.

Electrocatalytic refinery from biomass-derived glycerol (GLY) to formic acid (FA), one of the most promising candidates for green H carriers, has driven widespread attention for its sustainability. Herein, we fabricated a series of monolithic Ni hydroxide-based electrocatalysts by a facile and electrochemical method through the manipulation of local pH near the electrode. The as-synthesized Ni(OH)@NF-1.
