The electrocatalytic reduction (ECR) of furfural (FF) for synthesis of 2-methylfuran (MF) is investigated, using a sandwich-structured electrode (NiCu/CalZIF/CP), with an inner substrate of carbon paper (CP), a surface layer of Ni-Cu bimetallic catalyst (metal layer), and a middle layer of calcined...
