A MoO₃-CoOOH Synergistic Catalyst for Low-Voltage Paired Glycerol Electrolysis

Abstract

A synergistic MoO3-Co(OH)2 precatalyst achieves efficient glycerol oxidation to formate in alkaline, where in-situ formed CoOOH serves as the active phase and MoO3 enhances glycerol adsorption. Coupling this anodic reaction with acidic HER in a hybrid electrolyzer achieves concurrent formate and H2 production at a voltage of 0.44 V.
