| Summary: | The increased production of biodiesel results in a corresponding rise in the production of glycerol (GLY) as a by-product. The selective oxidation of glycerol can yield relatively simple products under mild reaction conditions, offering high added value and positioning it as one of the most promising methods for industrialization. In this study, we employed black titanium dioxide (B-TiO<sub>2</sub>) as a support and deposited platinum (Pt) to create a noble metal-supported catalyst. Lanthanum (La) or cerium (Ce) was doped into B-TiO<sub>2</sub> to enhance the concentration of oxygen vacancies in the support, thereby improving catalyst activity. Throughout the research process, we also investigated the impact of varying amounts of La or Ce doping on catalyst performance. Analysis of the catalytic experimental data revealed that Pt/30%Ce-B-TiO<sub>2</sub> exhibited the highest catalytic performance. Structural analysis of the catalysts showed that the synergistic effect between Pt<sup>0</sup> and oxygen vacancies contributed to enhancing catalyst activity. |
