Abstract

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 electron to product efficiency. Most reported catalysts are based on noble metals, while metal oxides are rarely reported. Here, we investigated the electro-oxidation of glycerol on a series of ZnFexCo2–xO4 (x = 0, 0.4, 1.0, 1.4, and 2.0) spinel oxides. Seven types of value-added C1–C3 products including formate, glycolate, lactate, and glycerate can be obtained by this approach. The selectivity and Faraday efficiency toward these products can be tuned by adjusting the Fe/Co ratio and other experimental parameters, such as the applied potential, glycerol concentration, and electrolyte pH.
