This bifunctional catalyst exhibits remarkable capabilities in both the electrocatalytic nitrate reduction reaction (NO 3 RR) and ethanol oxidation reaction (EOR) in a neutral medium, overcoming ...

The reaction also generates acetic acid and its developers believe it can compete economically with current manufacturing ...

Carboxylic acids can undergo reduction reactions. Reduction is the opposite of oxidation. For example, ethanoic acid (CH 3 COOH) can be formed by the oxidation of ethanol as shown below.
