A DFT and MD study of aqueous-phase dehydrogenation of glycerol on Pt(1 1 1): comparing chemical accuracy versus computational expense in different methods for calculating aqueous-phase system energies

TLDR
Glycerol, which is one of the most abundant byproducts in biodiesel production, can be converted into H2 through aqueous-phase reforming (APR) as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract
Glycerol, which is one of the most abundant by-products in biodiesel production, can be converted into H2 through aqueous-phase reforming (APR). Dehydrogenation is one of the main processes in glyc...
