Ozone-Oxidation of Glucose to Formic Acid over Polyoxmetalates
The efficient oxidation of glucose to formic acid (FA) has emerged as a sustainable method for biomass utilization. Herein, we developed a new approach to fulfill oxidation of glucose to formic acid using a polyoxometalate (POM) K<sub>10</sub>SiW<sub>9</sub>Mn<sub>3</sub><sup>II</sup>O<sub>37</sub>/O<sub>3</sub> system, and its high efficiency was presented with 79.3% yield of FA at 82.1% conversion at room temperature for 3 h. As evidenced by experiments, the components in Mn-POMs significantly influenced glucose conversion due to their effect on generating reactive oxygen species (ROSs) from O<sub>3</sub>, which was essential for FA production.
