New insights on the selective electroconversion of the cellulosic biomass-derived glucose at PtAu nanocatalysts in an anion exchange membrane fuel cell

[Display omitted] •Cellulosic biomass-based glucose is selectively oxidized in a co-generation direct fuel cell.•Real-time evidence of glucose oxidation in fuel cell by C1-position to gluconate (90% selectivity).•Glucuronate production (10% selectivity) via the glucose oxidation at the C6-position.•...
