The upgrading of glycerol, a byproduct from biodiesel production, is important for developing more sustainable biomass conversion technologies. Nonetheless, the low vapor pressure and structural complexity of glycerol limit mechanistic studies of gas-phase reactions on model surfaces and powder catalysts. In this work, we demonstrate the feasibility of using 1,2-propanediol (PDO) as a surrogate compound for the mechanistic study of glycerol over Mo₂C and Cu/Mo₂C surfaces. Here, the results show that glycerol and 1,2-PDO undergo similar reaction pathways on both the Mo and Cu sites, suggesting that 1,2-PDO could be used as a higher vapor pressure surrogate to glycerol for gas-phase mechanistic studies.
