Herein, a new electrochemical method is introduced that converts 1\u00a0mmol of alcohols to aldehydes and ketones in the presence of <jats:italic>N<\/jats:italic>-hydroxyphthalimide (NHPI, 20\u00a0mol%) as a mediator; this conversion is achieved after 8.5\u00a0h at room temperature using a piece of Ni foam (1.0 cm<jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>) and without adding an extra-base or a need for high temperature. Using this method, 10\u00a0mmol (1.08 g) of benzyl alcohol was also successfully oxidized to benzaldehyde (91%) without any by-products. This method was also used to oxidize other alcohols with high yield and selectivity. In the absence of a mediator, the surface of the nickel foam provided oxidation products at the lower yield. After the reaction was complete, nickel foam (anode) was characterized by a combination of scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy\u00a0(XPS), and spectroelectrochemistry, which pointed to the formation of nickel oxide on the surface of the electrode. On the other hand, using other electrodes such as Pt, Cu, Fe, and graphite resulted in a low yield for the alcohol to aldehyde conversion.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1038\/s41598-020-75397-8","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,11,9]],"date-time":"2020-11-09T11:05:02Z","timestamp":1604919902000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":23,"title":["Electrochemical alcohols oxidation mediated by N-hydroxyphthalimide on nickel foam surface"],"prefix":"10.1038","volume":"10","author":[{"given":"Leila","family":"Behrouzi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Robabeh","family":"Bagheri","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mohammad Reza","family":"Mohammadi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zhenlun","family":"Song","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Petko","family":"Chernev","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Holger","family":"Dau","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mohammad Mahdi","family":"Najafpour","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Babak","family":"Kaboudin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,11,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"75397_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"13230","DOI":"10.1021\/acs.chemrev.7b00397","volume":"117","author":"M Yan","year":"2017","unstructured":"Yan, M., Kawamata, Y. & Baran, P.
