Simultaneous electrocatalytic hydrogenation of aldehydes and phenol over carbon-supported metals

Abstract

Electrocatalytic hydrogenation of furfural, benzaldehyde, and phenol was studied on carbon-supported Rh, Ru, Pd, and Cu catalysts. All metals were active for hydrogenation of the carbonyl group in furfural and benzaldehyde, but only Rh/C was active for phenol hydrogenation. The intrinsic activities for furfural and benzaldehyde conversion were Pd/C
