Abstract |
Photoelectrochemical dimethoxylation of furan with methanol using a BiVO4/WO3 photoanode and Br(+)/Br(-) as a mediator was demonstrated with low applied potential. The faradaic efficiency for the dimethoxylation with a Et4NBF4 co-supporting electrolyte at +0.1 V vs. SHE was almost quantitative up to 99%. |
