Selective photoelectrochemical oxidation of glycerol to high value-added dihydroxyacetone

The selective conversion of inexpensive precursors to high-value chemicals presents valuable academic and industrial consequences. Here, the authors show bismuth vanadate photoanodes to utilize light and photoelectrochemically oxidize glycerol selectively to valuable industrial products.
