EMSI and Alloying Synergistically Enable Selective Electrooxidation of PET-Derived Ethylene Glycol to Glycolic Acid on PtAu-Ni(OH)2.
The electrocatalytic oxidation of ethylene glycol (EGOR) offers a promising route for upgrading polyethylene terephthalate (PET)-derived feedstocks into value-added chemicals. However, its practical implementation is hindered by sluggish hydroxyl activation and suboptimal adsorption configurations of key intermediates,...
