摘要

The electrochemical oxidation of alcohols is a major focus of energy and chemical conversion efforts, with potential applications ranging from fuel cells to biomass utilization and fine-chemical synthesis(1-7). Small-molecule electrocatalysts for processes of this type are promising targets for further development(8), as demonstrated by recent advances in nickel catalysts for electrochemical production and oxidation of hydrogen(9-11). Complexes with tethered amines that resemble the active site of hydrogenases(12) have been shown both to catalyse hydrogen production (from protons and electrons) with rates far exceeding those of such enzymes(11,13) and to mediate reversible electrocatalytic hydrogen production and oxidation with enzyme-like performance(14). Progress in electrocatalytic alcohol oxidation has been more modest. Nickel complexes similar to those used for hydrogen oxidation have been shown to mediate efficient electrochemical oxidation of benzyl alcohol, with a turnover frequency of 2.1 per second. These compounds exhibit poor reactivity with ethanol and methanol, however(15). Organic nitroxyls, such as TEMPO (2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-1-piperidine N-oxyl), are the most widely studied electrocatalysts for alcohol oxidation(5-7,16-19). These catalysts exhibit good activity (1-2 turnovers per second) with a wide range of alcohols(18) and have great promise for electro-organic synthesis(7). Their use in energy-conversion applications, however, is limited by the high electrode potentials required to generate the reactive oxoammonium species. Here we report (2,2'-bipyridine) Cuitroxyl co-catalyst systems for electrochemical alcohol oxidation that proceed with much faster rates, while operating at an electrode potential a half-volt lower than that used for the TEMPO-only process. The (2,2'-bipyridine) Cu(II) and TEMPO redox partners exhibit cooperative reactivity and exploit the low-potential, proton-coupled TEMPO/TEMPOH redox process rather than the high-potential TEMPO/TEMPO+ process. The results show how electron-proton-transfer mediators, such as TEMPO, may be used in combination with first-row transition metals, such as copper, to achieve efficient two-electron electrochemical processes, thereby introducing a new concept for the development of non-precious-metal electrocatalysts.
