Abstract
The present invention discloses a method for preparing glycollate by electro-catalyzing ethylene glycol. The method for preparing glycollate by electro-catalytically ethylene glycol includes: assembling an anode catalyst, a cathode catalyst and an alkaline electrolyte containing the ethylene glycol into an electrolytic cell, and applying voltage for electrocatalytic reaction, where the ethylene glycol is oxidized at an anode to generate glycollate, and water is reduced at a cathode to generate hydrogen. The alkaline electrolyte containing the ethylene glycol can be obtained by dissolving waste plastic polyethylene terephthalate (PET) into an alkali liquid, and carrying out solid-liquid separation after hydrolysis reaction.
