Paired Electrolysis in the Simultaneous Production of Synthetic Intermediates and Substrates

In electrochem. processes, an oxidn. half-reaction is always paired with a redn. half-reaction.  Although systems for reactions such as the redn. of CO2 can be coupled to H2O oxidn. to produce O2 at the anode, large-scale O2 prodn. is of limited value.  One may replace a low-value half-reaction with a compatible half-reaction that can produce […]
