Efficient and selective oxidation of ethylene glycol is challenging due to uncontrollable C–C bond cleavage. We propose an electrochemical strategy for the selective electrooxidation of ethylene glycol to sythesise lactic acid on a Ni-based electrocatalyst by controlling the pH value of the electrolyte solution.
