Preparation of a highly active palladium nanoparticle/polyoxometalate/reduced graphene oxide nanocomposite by a simple photoreduction method and its application to the electrooxidation of ethylene glycol and glycerol

Tailor‐Designed Porous Catalysts: Nickel‐Doped Cu/Cu2O Foams for Efficient Glycerol Electro‐Oxidation

“…[14] In this context, polyols, e. g., glycerol, seem to be promising alternatives owing to its unique features such as low flammability and volatility, nontoxicity, low crossover flux through the membrane and biorenewability. [15][16][17][18][19] Additionally, from the economic and environmental point of view, glycerol is produced in large amounts as a byproduct during the biodiesel production process. [18] Furthermore, during the glycerol oxidation reaction (GOR), many intermediates can be formed such as glyceric acid and glyceraldehyde which have potential commercial importance.…”
