Fig. 9: Pt electronic structure and the catalytic evaluation.

a–c In the selective oxidation of glycerol, time-dependent glycerol conversion (a), profile of glycerol conversion rate with Pt valence state (b), and comparison of product selectivity at similar glycerol conversion (c). d–f In the selective oxidation of GLAD, time-dependent GLAD conversion (d), comparison of product selectivity (e), and profiles of GLAD conversion rate and H2O2 production rate with Pt valence state (f). Reaction conditions: ebullated bed, 15 mL of substrate aqueous solution (0.1 mol L−1), substrate/Pt (mol/mol) = 300, 60 oC, O2 flow of 30 mL/min. Cu-CuZrOx was input using the same mass with 0.9%Pt1 + Ptn/Cu-CuZrOx.
