a EPR signals over NiV-LDH-NS in 0.5 M KOH + 0.4 M cyclohexanone. b Results of electrocatalysis of 2-hydroxycyclohexanone (2) and 1,2-cyclohexanedione (3). The electrolysis was conducted in 0.5 M KOH and 0.1 M 2 or 3 at 1.8 VRHE for an hour. The error bars represent the standard deviation of two independent measurements by using the same kind of catalyst. c Proposed reaction pathway for COR over both catalysts. d Schematic illustrations of COR pathways over Ni(OH)2-NS (left) and d NiV-LDH-NS (right). The red arrows indicate the promoted step during COR process by V modification. Source data for a and b are provided in Source Data file.
