Applications
- Catalytic systems where one or several steps can be accelerated by electrochemical oxidation/reduction
- Transition-metal catalytic reactions
Differentiation
- Expanded Potentials beyond the solvent electrochemical window
- Adjustable Selectivity
- Innovative Stirring-free Reactor Design
- Efficient Redox Reactions on the same electrode
- Prevents electrode fouling
Demonstrated setup and AC-enabled Ni-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions
Development Stage
The method is at TRL of 4. It has been used for a variety of catalysis processes, producing different amines, aryl bromides, carboxylic acids and alcohols.
