Novel Electrode Materials for Organic Electrosynthesis

本项目旨在了解电极结构和组成在电化学中的作用，以便为更可持续的精细化学品合成设计更有效的电化学反应器。最初的工作将集中在苯甲醇衍生物的选择性氧化上，以了解不同电极对官能团的耐受性。本项目稍后将介绍其他的电化学氧化和还原。这些反应的有效性将与选定的工业相关靶标的传统化学方法进行比较。

This project aims to understand the role of electrode structure and composition on electrochemistry to allow the design of more efficient electrochemical reactors for more sustainable fine chemicals synthesis. Initial work will focus on the selective oxidation of benzyl alcohol derivatives, gaining understanding of functional group tolerance for different electrodes. Later in the project other electrochemical oxidations and reductions will be introduced. The reactions' efficacy will be compared with conventional chemical approaches for selected examples of industrially relevant targets.
