Abstract
Electrochemical synthesis is well established for production of bulk commodities such as copper, aluminium, or ethylene oxide, but electrosynthesis could play an increasingly important role also in a broader range of organic and pharmaceutical syntheses. Electrochemical transformations linked to renewable electricity offer a low-carbon low-waste alternative to traditional chemical reactions (sustainability), although more work is needed to establish processes and reactor technology for easy implementation (practicality). Here, the application of interdigitated microband array electrodes (in conjunction with computational methods) is discussed/contrasted as a tool to (i) avoid the use of added supporting electrolyte, (ii) achieve anode–cathode process pairing, and (iii) allow very simple reactor technology to be introduced compatible with existing chemical reactionware.
期刊介绍：
The development of the Current Opinion journals stemmed from the acknowledgment of the growing challenge for specialists to stay abreast of the expanding volume of information within their field. In Current Opinion in Electrochemistry, they help the reader by providing in a systematic manner:
1.The views of experts on current advances in electrochemistry in a clear and readable form.
2.Evaluations of the most interesting papers, annotated by experts, from the great wealth of original publications.
In the realm of electrochemistry, the subject is divided into 12 themed sections, with each section undergoing an annual review cycle:
• Bioelectrochemistry • Electrocatalysis • Electrochemical Materials and Engineering • Energy Storage: Batteries and Supercapacitors • Energy Transformation • Environmental Electrochemistry • Fundamental & Theoretical Electrochemistry • Innovative Methods in Electrochemistry • Organic & Molecular Electrochemistry • Physical & Nano-Electrochemistry • Sensors & Bio-sensors •
