Electrocatalytic and Selective Oxidation of Glycerol to Formate on 2D 3d-Metal Phosphate Nanosheets and Carbon-Negative Hydrogen Generation.

ABSTRACT: In the landscape of green hydrogen production, alkaline water electrolysis is a well-established, yet not-so-cost-effective, technique due to the high overpotential requirement for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). A low-voltage approach is proposed to overcome not only the OER challenge by favorably oxidizing abundant feedstock molecules with an earth-abundant catalyst but also to reduce the energy input required for hydrogen production. This alternative process not only generates carbon-negative green H₂ but also yields concurrent value-added products (VAPs), thereby maximizing economic advantages and transforming waste into valuable resources. The essence of this study lies in a novel electrocatalyst material. In the present study, unique and two-dimensional (2D) ultrathin
