Enhancing polyol/sugar cascade oxidation to formic acid with defect rich MnO2 catalysts

Abstract Oxidation of renewable polyol/sugar into formic acid using molecular O2 over heterogeneous catalysts is still challenging due to the insufficient activation of both O2 and organic substrates on coordination-saturated metal oxides. In this study, we develop a defective MnO2 catalyst through...
