A Multi-Angled Approach to Facilitate Synthetic Electroorganic Processes in Scalable Electrolyzers

Electroorganic synthesis offers a sustainable route for chemical manufacturing by replacing fossil feedstocks with renewable electicity. It enables precise control and high selectivity, even for complex reactions. Yet commercialization is hindered by scaling challenges and a research focus over practical transfer. This work advances the field by translating reactions into continuousflow zero-gap electrolyzers - scalable, energy-efficient systems with low resistent and high mass transport. Using the oxidation of a substituted phenol as a model, it shows that controlling local substrate concentration via optimized flow, electrolyte, and porous electro dedesign is crucial. The reductive regeneration of NAD* further demonstrates the role of electrode architecture over catalyst choice, with structured metal meshes improving transport and surface aria.
