Abstract
We have examined the rate of glycolaldehyde oxidation and the current efficiency of products at Pt electrodes modified by Sb, Bi and Ru ad-atoms, using at various amounts of coverage, and investigated whether the aldehyde functional group in glycolaldehyde molecule is selectively oxidized. The CHO group is oxidized selectively with respect to the CH 2OH group at a Pt electrode modified by Sb and Bi ad-atoms in the oxidation of glycolaldehyde consisting of both aldehyde group (CHO) and the alcohol group (CH 2OH). Both the oxidation of the CHO group and the CH 2OH group are enhanced by Ru ad-atoms. Namely, Ru ad-atoms have no selective enhancement effect on the oxidation of glycolaldehyde.
