title: Photoelectrochemical dimethoxylation of furan via a bromide redox mediator using a BiVO4/WO3photoanode.
abstract: Photoelectrochemical dimethoxylation of furan with methanol using a BiVO4/WO3photoanode and Br+/Br-as a mediator was demonstrated with low applied potential. The faradaic efficiency for the dimethoxylation with a Et4NBF4co-supporting electrolyte at +0.1 V vs. SHE was almost quantitative up to 99%.
