Abstract
This paper reports an electrocatalytic strategy for adipic acid production coupled with H₂ generation using a sodium dodecyl sulfonate (SDS)-modified nickel hydroxide (Ni(OH)₂) catalyst. The intercalated SDS enhances cyclohexanone enrichment in the aqueous medium, resulting in a 3.6-fold increase in adipic acid productivity and a higher faradaic efficiency (93% vs 56% for pure Ni(OH)₂). A two-electrode flow electrolyzer achieved 4.7 mmol adipic acid and 8.0 L H₂ in 24 h at 0.8 A.
