The invention discloses a non-
noble metal heterogeneous catalyst, a preparation method and application of the non-
noble metal heterogeneous catalyst in electro-catalytic synthesis of 2, 5-furandicarboxylic acid from 5-
hydroxymethylfurfural, and the preparation method comprises the following steps: (1) dissolving
cobalt salt and
copper salt in deionized water to obtain an
electrolyte; (2) immersing a pretreated foamed
nickel substrate in the
electrolyte, and carrying out constant potential electrochemical deposition in a three-
electrode system to prepare a pre-CoCu / NF
electrode; (3) activating pre-CoCu / NF in a 1M KOH
aqueous solution through an electrochemical
cyclic voltammetry method to obtain a non-
noble metal heterogeneous catalyst; the preparation method is simple, efficient, green, free of
pollution and easy to amplify. The prepared non-noble
metal heterogeneous catalyst is high in activity, the non-noble
metal heterogeneous catalyst serves as a positive
electrode material for electrocatalytic oxidation of 5-
hydroxymethylfurfural, the electrode production efficiency is remarkably improved, the
current density and FDCA selectivity of HMOR are remarkably improved, and the electrochemical performance far exceeds that of a catalyst prepared through a conventional strategy.
