Chemically Modified Anodes for Electrosynthesis

与用于电合成的阴极材料相比， 同时， 稳定的、廉价的、用于该过程的电催化的，以及 导电的。 这项研究涉及准备 化学改性的碳，含有一个 大量的独特官能团共价连接到 碳。 将对改性碳阳极进行评价， 用于氧化的铈离子的再生 芳烃转化为有商业价值的产品。 还要 评价了特制“铈阳极”的制备和使用 用于细胞内电有机合成。

Compared to cathode materials for electrosynthesis, there are much fewer suitable anode materials which are at the same time stable, inexpensive, electrocatalytic for the process, and electrically conductive. This research involves the preparation and characterization of chemically modified carbons, containing a substantial amount of unique functionality covalently attached to the carbon. Modified carbon anodes will be evaluated for regeneration of ceric ion which is useful in oxidation of aromatics to commercially valuable products. Also to be evaluated is preparation and use of tailor-made "cerium anodes" for in-cell electroorganic synthesis.
