Highly selective oxidation of glucose to formic acid over synthesized hydrotalcite-like catalysts under base free mild conditions

Photo-, electro-, and photoelectro-catalytic conversion of glucose into high value-added products

“…To this end, researchers have also attempted to catalyze the oxidation of glucose using heterogeneous catalysts at low temperatures 13,16 using H 2 O 2 (ref. 17) as the oxidant. Unfortunately, the resulting glucose conversions and product selectivities are often very poor.…”
