Glycerol is a byproduct of biodiesel production and can be a low-cost source for some high-value C1-C3 chemicals. The conversion can be achieved by photo-, thermo-, and electro-catalysis methods. The electrocatalytic oxidation method is attractive due to its moderate reaction conditions and high ele...
