Predictive control of selective secondary alcohol oxidation of glycerol on NiOOH

While valuable chemicals can be obtained from biomass electro-oxidation, the mechanisms can be challenging to discern. Here, authors show that explicit control of electrochemical dehydrogenation mechanisms enables selective secondary alcohol oxidation of glycerol to produce 1,3-dihydroxyacetone.
