The first PEM PEC cell for glycerol valorization and H2 generation was developed, A selective WO3 photoanode, a H+-exchange membrane and near-neutral pH were applied, Simultaneous anodic C3s and cathodic H2 production was optimized at 60ºC and 1.2 V, PEC favours glycerol upgrading while electrocatalysis favours mineralization, The synergy between photo- and electrocatalysis stands PEC as a promising technology.
