Severe Mo-modified MnOx binary oxide catalysts were synthesized and served as highly active catalysts for the oxidation of glucose to formic acid in water. A maximum formic acid yield of 79% was achieved from glucose (10 g/L) over Mo(1)-MnOx at 160 ◦C after 90 min of reaction time. Even when the i...
