The “ex-cell” approach to organic electrosynthesis has enabled important progression be made in numerous systems. Separating out the electrochemical step from subsequent chemical means that substrate scopes can expanded and a broader scope of reagents are more easily prepared. Moieties included otherwise readily undergo single-electron transfer redox events at electrode surface. We detail sever...

The electrooxidation of PFOS can be significantly improved with the simultaneous electrosynthesis ferrate and permanganate from low concentration ambient Fe 2+ Mn in source waters, even presence natural organic matter (NOM).

Microbial electrosynthesis is a useful form of technology for the renewable production of organic commodities from biologically catalyzed reduction of CO₂. However, for the technology to become applicable, process selectivity, stability and efficiency need strong improvement. Here we report on the effect of different electrochemical control modes (potentiostatic/galvanostatic) on both the start...

This personal account provides an overview of work conducted in my research group, and through collaborations with other chemists engineers, to develop flow electrolysis cells apply these organic electrosynthesis. First, a brief summary training background synthesis is provided, leading the start electrosynthesis lab collaboration Derek Pletcher. Our on development extended path reactors descri...

Microbial electrosynthesis enables the production of value-added chemicals from CO2 and electrons provided by an electrode. Clostridium ljungdahlii is electroactive acetogen that potentially could be used in microbial systems. However, optimal operational parameters for using C. are not known. Here, we explored effects yeast extract, pH, cathode potential. A low initial pH increased rate acetat...

Abstract Electrochemical production of hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O ) from oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is a promising alternative to the costly anthraquinone method. However, sluggish kinetics ORR on most electrocatalysts restricts its wide application. Therefore, exploring with high activity and selectivity for two–electron significant. Herein, cobalt atoms anchored nitrogen-doped hollow carbo...
