Abstract

Glycerol electrooxidation (GOR) is a safe and clean method for conversion of glycerol. In the course of this work, a series of PtxCe/C catalysts have been synthesized by successive polyol reduction methods as well as etching and calcination. Various physicochemical characterrisation and electrochemical measurements have demonstrated the excellent performance of Pt3Ce/C composites in glycerol oxidation (GOR) and hydrogen evolution reactions (HER). The Pt3Ce/C catalyst showed better performance in GOR and HER compared to commercially available Pt/C electrocatalysts. This paper demonstrates an energy efficient electrocatalyst for the simultaneous precipitation of hydrogen from glycerol oxidation.
