Electrochemical performance for the electro-oxidation of ethylene glycol on a carbon-supported platinum catalyst at intermediate temperature

► High oxidation current in ethylene glycol electro-oxidation at intermediate temperature. ► High C-C bond dissociation ratio of ethylene glycol at intermediate temperature. ► Low selectivity for CH4 in ethylene glycol electro-oxidation. ► High selectivity for CO2 according to an increase in steam to carbon ratios.
