Electrocatalytic functionalization of arenes and alkenes with O-, N- and F-heteroatoms KU Leuven
Electrochemistry is a sustainable alternative for energetically voracious processes currently running in the chemical industry. Electrosynthesis has already been implemented on an industrial scale, e.g. in the electrohydrodimerisation of acrylonitrile towards adiponitrile. However, a lot of base and specialty chemicals are still being synthesized via traditional energy-intensive methods. This PhD project aims to find electrochemical synthesis ...
