Abstract:In electrochemical hydrogen production, a major contribution to the energy demand is the anodic oxygen evolution reaction, although byproduct oxygen is often not utilized. This motivates the search for alternative anodic oxidation reactions. Glycerol has been proposed as a promising reagent for the anode since it is widely available, cheap, and green. However, it is still unclear if this would have energetic and economic benefits. To this end, we evaluated the anodic oxidation of glycerol to the 14 alternative… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
