- Additional information
- This is a collaborative work among four institutions spread across four countries. We developed a new two-dimensional phosphate material which catalysed oxidative dehydrogenation of lactate to pyruvate more efficiently than its three-dimensional (bulk) counterpart. This is the first time this self-exfoliating strategy is used to prepare transition metal phosphates. The global market size of pyruvate/pyruvic acid market is expected to reach $ 47 million by 2025. Pyruvate is used in several industries such as food and beverages, dietary supplements, pharmaceutical. This work was supported by Chinese Scholarship Council (201506140058), by national funding agencies (MINECO CTM2015-63864-R) and EU (ERDF/FEDER).
