基于氢的未来可持续能源系统是不可避免的。这种分子储能化合物的生产肯定是通过电解。在第一个资助期内，已经成功地表明，在用催化剂改性的惰性电极上的有机转化可以取代水电解中的析氧反应，由于高过电压，析氧反应消耗了相当大一部分电力。因此，产生有用平台化学物质的替代阳极反应代表了析氧的创新替代方案。在第二个资助期内，不寻常的阳极反应将扩展到氨和氮的氧化，同时研究在用催化剂改性的电极上生产有机平台氧化剂，以统一有机电合成和电催化。该策略应允许进一步控制有机氧化反应的选择性。此外，需要具体的分析和理论专业知识来阐明反应中间体和吸附物使用ATR-IR光谱电化学，可视化的活性位点使用EC-STM，并提供理论基础，使用DFT和多尺度方法。该研究小组将弥合有机电化学和制备电解中的电催化基本原理之间的差距，同时为更可持续的未来提供新的途径。

A future sustainable energy system based on hydrogen is inevitable. The production of this molecular energy storage compound will definitely be by electrolysis. In the first funding period, it was already successfully shown that organic transformations on inert electrodes modified with catalysts can replace the oxygen evolution reaction in water electrolysis, which consumes a substantial part of the electrical power due to the high overvoltage. Alternative anode reactions that produce useful platform chemicals thus represent an innovative alternative to oxygen evolution. In the second funding period, the unusual anode reactions will be extended to ammonia and nitrogen oxidation while simultaneously investigating the production of organic platform oxidizers on electrodes modified with catalysts to unify organic electrosynthesis and electrocatalysis. This strategy should allow further control of the selectivity of organic oxidation reactions. Furthermore, specific analytical and theoretical expertise is needed to elucidate reaction intermediates and adsorbates using ATR-IR spectroelectrochemistry, to visualise the active sites using EC-STM, and to provide the theoretical basis using DFT and multiscale methods. The research group will bridge the gap between the fundamentals of organic electrochemistry and electrocatalysis in preparative electrolysis while offering new pathways into a more sustainable future.
