ABSTRACT: Electrolytic glucose oxidation has garnered great interest in energy-saving hydrogen generation. However, high charge-transfer resistance and inefficient active centers have been recognized as the primary issues for poor electrochemical performance. In this study, for the first time, we offer a novel defect-rich CeO x /β-Ni(OH)2 composite nanosheet-decorated Ni foam electrocatalyst (denoted as Ce@NF-GA), synthesized via a unique hydrothermal approach under the co-participation of glycerol and acetic acid. The employed characterizations unveil a close CeO x /β-Ni(OH)2 interfacial contact and numerous surface defects (e.g., oxygen vacancies). Such features significantly result in a significant enhancement in the electroc
