Simultaneous in situ formation of Ni-based catalysts at the anode for glycerol oxidation and at the cathode for hydrogen evolution

An Overview of Glycerol Electrooxidation Mechanisms on Pt, Pd and Au

“…Existing reports show that Ni is capable of cleaving the C−C bond, [9,119] and it is very likely to convert glycerol into C1 products and produce CO 2 (carbonate) [120] . Oliveira et al [9] .…”

Electrodeposited and then acetate‐processed Ni(OH) 2 /NiOOH composites for enhanced electrocatalytic oxidation of urea

“…Therefore, it is required to research some non‐noble metal catalytic materials for completing the catalysis of small molecules under relatively low oxidation potential condition [10]. Ni‐based materials increasingly arouse people's interest in recent decades, for studying the electrocatalysis of small molecules’ oxidation or hydrogen evolution [11, 12]. Nickel is an abundant metal in the nature reserves, which is widely used in electric catalytic material protection, the energy conversion and so on [13], because it is cheap, corrosion resistance, and has good electrochemical and catalytic properties.…”

Improving selectivity of gold nanoparticles for glycerol electro-oxidation via interaction with non-noble metals

“…Au + was likely generated as a result of electron transfer between Au and Cu2O. Given these positive results, we then extended our investigation to the electro-deposited Ni species on the C3 selectivity of carbon black supported Au nanoparticles (Au/C) for glycerol electro-oxidation.Ni was chosen based on reports evidencing the high electro-catalytic activity of pure nickel catalysts for glycerol electro-oxidation under alkaline conditions 112,[222][223][224][225][226]. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) studies identified NiOOH as the active catalytic species as glycerol electro-oxidation occurred in tandem with the conversion of β-Ni(OH)2 to NiOOH.…”
