In this study, researchers developed a highly alloyed Pd3Pt1 bimetallene (Pd3Pt1 BML) for efficient electrochemical hydrogenation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural into 2,5-dihydroxymethylfuran. The ultrathin structure and dispersed active sites of Pd3Pt1 BML deliver superior Faradaic efficiency (>93%) and selectivity (>66%) under mild conditions. Coupled with formic acid oxidation at the anode to lower energy consumption, this innovative approach overcomes high-temperature and high-pressure limitations, paving the way for greener, sustainable biomass conversion.
