Alcohol oxidation as alternative anode reactions paired with (photo)electrochemical fuel production reactions

(Photo)electrochemical cells that produce fuels have often relied on water oxidation to complete the redox cycle. Here, the authors discuss alcohol oxidation as an alternative reaction and consider general mechanistic features of oxidation electrocatalysts.
