“…As the unavoidable by-product of biodiesel manufacture, glycerol is growing excessively with the increasing production volume of biodiesel [3][4][5]. Therefore, glycerol transformations including oxidation, hydrogenlysis, esterification, and reforming have become increasingly significant in terms of economy and environmental protection [6][7][8][9][10], creating an array of value-added products as well [11,12]. Among these transformation approaches, glycerol selective oxidation in aqueous phase over heterogeneous nanoparticles (NPs) is quite promising due to its diverse products of functionalized molecule including glyceraldehyde (GLYD), glyceric acid (GLYA), dihydroxyacetone (DHA), tartronic acid (TTA), glycolic acid (GLCOA), oxalic acid (OXA), and so on [13,14].…”
