Abstract:
Electrosynthesis involves transferring charge between two electrodes to promote chemical reactions by applying potential. The modes of controlling the current and potential can affect the reaction mechanism, product distribution and yields, and add a control factor for reaction optimization. In this Synopsis, theoretical discussion is applied to specific case studies from the literature to illustrate methods of adjusting and tracking electrical parameters for the optimization and monitoring of electroorganic reactions.
