Open-ESyn: A 3D-Printed Toolkit for Expanded ElectraSyn Functionality and Reproducibility for Electrosynthesis

Electrosynthetic reactions are performed in either custom-made reactors that are developed and machined in-house or commercially available systems that offer good reproducibility but come at a high cost. To bridge this divide between customizability and reproducibility, we have developed the Open-ESyn, which is a suite of 3D-printed components compatible with the popular ElectraSyn. This collection of parts increases the electrosynthesis that can be performed with the ElectraSyn, expanding, for example, the scale, temperature and the type of electrodes that can be used. The standardized reactor environment can be inexpensively recreated, thereby maintaining the reproducibility of the ElectraSyn ecosystem.
