Abstract

Abstract:

Compared with traditional organic synthesis techniques, electrosynthesis has many advantages such as high atom utilization, mild reaction conditions, easy reaction control, and friendly to the environment, and has become a popular research area of organic synthesis in recent years. The electrochemical reaction mainly occurs at the electrode-solution interface, and the mass transfer, adsorption and surface reaction behavior of the reactants at the interface determine the activity and selectivity of the electrochemical reaction. This paper reviewed the latest research progress on improving the activity and selectivity of organic electrosynthesis at different scales, focusing on the strategies of catalyst electronic structure regulation, electrode-solution interface design, reaction and transport coupling. It also proposed the important research directions in the future, including electrochemical organic reaction mechanism, catalyst structure-performance relation, electrosynthesis reactor, and coupling of reaction and separation, which could provide reference for the development of electrocatalytic organic synthesis.

Key words: organic electrosynthesis, selectivity, activity, catalyst, multiscale
