Abstract:Ethylene glycol (EG) is an important platform molecule that can be produced from biomass and waste plastics. The electrochemical upgrading of EG is essential to approach the goal of low-carbon sustainable development. Coin-group metals (CGMs) including Au, Ag, and Cu have recently emerged as promising alternatives to platinum-group metals on selective electrooxidation of EG (EGOR) to value-added C2 chemicals, especially glycolic acid/glycolate. Nevertheless, the corresponding electrocatalytic processes are sti… Show more
