Bromide-mediated selective electrocatalytic oxidation of ethylene to ethylene glycol using non-precious metal catalyst Sn–NiSb<sub>2</sub>O<sub>6</sub>
This study addresses fossil fuel dependency and carbon emissions in traditional ethylene glycol synthesis by developing a bromine-mediated indirect electrocatalytic oxidation strategy for ethylene using a Sn-NiSb<sub>2</sub>O<sub>6</sub> catalyst. At 500 mA cm<sup>-2</sup>, the system achieves 79% selectivity and 53% faradaic efficiency, validating the feasibility of non-noble metal catalysts for anodic selective oxidation.
