Abstract

The application of electrochemical technologies for chemical and fuel synthesis offers a significantly more eco-friendly method than traditional industrial practice. However, electrochemical synthesis in aqueous solutions often involves a sluggish oxygen evolution reaction (OER) at the anode, yielding products that are less economically viable and leading to inefficient energy use. This challenge has prompted extensive research into replacing the OER with fast, value-added oxidation reactions (OER alternatives) in electrolysis systems. In this review, we summarize the latest research progress in coupled electrochemical systems that integrate OER alternatives with reduction reactions, beyond hydrogen evolution…
