Improving Glycerol Electrooxidation Performance on Nanocubic PtCo Catalysts.

ABSTRACT: As glycerol (GLY) has emerged as a highly functional and cheap platform molecule and as an abundant biodiesel production byproduct, possible conversion methods have been investigated. One of the promising approaches is the glycerol electrooxidation (GEOR) on noble metal-based catalysts. Although noble metals, especially Pt, are generally very stable at different pH and highly selective toward three-carbon (C3) products, their electrocatalytic performance can be further improved by morphology tuning and alloying with non-noble metals like Co. In the present study, cubic Pt_xCo_100-x (x = 100, 80, and 60) nanoparticles were investigated in an alkaline medium at 20 and 40 °C. The effect of the composition and reaction conditions on the selectivity of t
