Enhancing glycerol electrooxidation from synergistic interactions of platinum and transition metal carbides

Glycerol Electrooxidation over Precision-Synthesized Gold Nanocrystals with Different Surface Facets

“…A 10 min argon purge was performed before CV from 0.1 to 1.6 V for 10 cycles at 50 mV/s in 0.1 M KOH electrolyte to clean and condition the deposited Au nanoparticles. This was followed by 10 cycles of CV in 0.1 M KOH and 1 M glycerol electrolyte from 0.1 to 1.6 V at 50 mV/s to assess electrocatalytic activity …”

Photoelectrochemical Selective Oxidation of Glycerol to Glyceraldehyde with Bi-Based Metal–Organic-Framework-Decorated WO3 Photoanode

“…Various technologies are being explored to maximize the benefits of biodiesel by converting low-cost glycerol into higher-value compounds. Most conversion methods, including reforming [ 9 , 10 ], hydrogenolysis [ 11 , 12 ], dehydration [ 13 , 14 ], esterification [ 15 , 16 ], etherification [ 17 , 18 ], oligomerization [ 19 , 20 ], carboxylation [ 21 , 22 ], and oxidation [ 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 ], have limitations such as the requirement for an additional energy source or the production of CO 2 during the conversion process. However, photoelectrochemical (PEC) oxidation is a promising method for glycerol conversion, which is an environmentally friendly and straightforward process for directly transferring solar energy into the target material [ 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 ].…”

Enhancing the performance of Ni nanoparticle modified carbon felt towards glycerol electrooxidation: impact of organic additive

“…Remarkably, glycerol can be used to assist the anodic reaction in the water electrolysis process which is thermodynamically more favored than the oxygen evolution reaction to save the input energy. 3–7…”

“…Remarkably, glycerol can be used to assist the anodic reaction in the water electrolysis process which is thermodynamically more favored than the oxygen evolution reaction to save the input energy. [3][4][5][6][7] Nickel-based catalysts have been reported previously as excellent catalysts for several applications, especially in electrocatalysis such as water splitting, [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] fuel cells, [16][17][18][19] oxidation of many organic molecules (methanol, ethanol, glucose, urea, and glycerol). [20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37] This is attributed to its high stability in alkaline medium, low cost, high electro-catalytic activity, good electrical conductivity, and ease of active phase formation.…”
