“…Since the current density has been increased 3.5 times without any shift in the peak potential, it can be stated that the glycerol oxidation reaction is promoted by the surface structuring effect due to the presence of CeO 2 . However, given the proximity of the Pt and CeO 2 sites, the presence of adsorbed oxygenated species at low potentials, provided by CeO 2 , could contribute to a better activity of PtCeO 2 /C through bifunctional mechanism, [2,25,27,[42][43][44] as represented in Eq. 1.…”
