Peroxidation of glycerol has been carried out in a polyoxometalate (POM)‐based microfluidic reactor, which was fabricated on a capillary by using a layer‐by‐layer strategy. Lactic acid (LA) is produced selectively in high yield with a TOF as high as 20 000 h −1 , compared to a TOF of 200 h −1 in batch mode. This POM microfluidic reactor is readily prepared, scalable, highly stable, reusable, and also potentially applicable to selective oxidation of other bio‐wastes.
