Application of Bi2O3/TiO2 heterostructures on glycerol photocatalytic oxidation to chemicals

Nanoconfinement Enables Photoelectrochemical Selective Oxidation of Glycerol via the Microscale Fluid Effect

“…The absence of reactive oxygen species (ROS) also enabled the formation and retention of multicarbon products (Figure S26). − Figure c displays the reported selectivities for catalyst-free TiO 2 photooxidation of glycerol to GLD, ,,− and obviously, the TNT-50 photoanode occupies the highest point. Adequate regulation of the microenvironment was undoubtedly involved in reversing the selectivities of the photoanodes under unrestricted conditions, which provides valuable ideas for designing more effective catalysts for biomass oxidation in the future.…”
