Herein we synthesized bi-metallic Pd@Ni and Au@Ni core-shell-like nanoparticles (NPs) for glycerol electrooxidation reaction (GEOR) in alkaline media. The morphological, structural and surface properties of the NPs were evaluated using a range of physicochemical techniques. The catalytic activity and stability were studied using the three-electrode electrochemical cell and 25 cm2- continuous electrolysis cell. Among different atomic ratios, Ni80Pd20 and Ni90Au10 nanoparticles showed the highest current densities which are ~4.5 and 4.2 times higher than spherical Ni, respectively. The addition of Pd and Au (a remarkable glycerate selectivity of ~73.1% and 65.7% for Ni80Pd20 and Ni90Au10 catalysts at 1.3 V and 50 °C, respectively. Notably, after 6 h of electrolysis Pd@Ni and Au@Ni tend to suppress the C-C bond cleavage, compared to Ni at any applied potentials and temperatures. The DFT calculations predicted that the addition of Pd or Au to Ni reduces the work function of M@Ni NPs, which strengthens the OH adsorption and enhances the removal of GEOR intermediates.

In this work, different shaped WO3 (rod-like, lamellar and cuboid) supported Pt catalysts were prepared in a facile routine and tested in the selective oxidation of glycerol in base-free aqueous solution. Characterizations indicated that rod-like WO3 supported Pt catalyst (Pt/R-WO3) possesses higher surface area because of the formation of vertical pore channels and highly exposed plane (100), the deposited Pt atoms combined strongly with the terminal [sbnd]W[dbnd]O in rod-like WO3. These properties promoted the adsorption, storage and surface diffusion of oxygen over Pt/R-WO3 which exhibited the excellent activity for the selective oxidation of glycerol. And the higher amount of acid sites on the surface of Pt/R-WO3 enhanced the selectivity of glyceric acid. The calculated turnover frequency of each Pt atom in Pt/R-WO3 reached 946 h–1 at 60 °C.
