Identification of Bi2WO6 as a highly selective visible-light photocatalyst toward oxidation of glycerol to dihydroxyacetone in water
Abstract
Glycerol, being either a primary by-product of biodiesel manufacture or a platform molecule from sugars, is of significant interest as a renewable biomass because it is a highly functionalized and versatile organic building block for the synthesis of value-added fine chemicals. In particular, selective oxidation of glycerol to various industrially valuable products by heterogeneous photocatalysis using solar light as free energy and molecular oxygen as benign oxidant under ambient conditions is extremely attractive. However, a highly selective, heterogeneous visible-light photocatalyst utilized for aerobic oxidation of glycerol has been unavailable. To date, the discovery or design of a visible-light-driven, highly selective photocatalyst for selective oxidation of glycerol to a specific product is particularly challenging in heterogeneous photocatalytic selective transformation. Herein, we for the first time, report the identification of flower-like Bi2WO6 as a highly selective visible-light photocatalyst toward aerobic selective oxidation of glycerol to dihydroxyacetone using oxygen as oxidant in water at room temperature and atmospheric pressure. A rationale for the observed high selectivity over photocatalyst flower-like Bi2WO6 is provided.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
