Progress in Hydrogen Production Coupled with Electrochemical Oxidation of Small Molecules
Nankai University · Unité Matériaux et Transformations
Abstract
The electrochemical oxidation of small molecules to generate value-added products has gained enormous interest in recent years because of the advantages of benign operation conditions, high conversion efficiency and selectivity, the absence of external oxidizing agents, and eco-friendliness. Coupling the electrochemical oxidation of small molecules to replace oxygen evolution reaction (OER) at the anode and the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) at the cathode in an electrolyzer would simultaneously realize the generation of high-value chemicals or pollutant degradation and the highly efficient production of hydrogen. This Minireview presents an introduction on small-molecule choice and design strategies of…
