Olefin-Assisted Electrochemical Recycling of Homogeneous Hydrosilylation Catalysts in Nonpolar Media.

ABSTRACT: Homogeneous platinum catalysts for hydrosilylation are essential for the chemical industry and society, through the production of commodities such as functional silicones. However, the high boiling points of the products and the low concentration of the homogeneous catalysts make the implementation of traditional separation methods difficult. Catalyst loss becomes a core sustainability and techno-economic challenge. In addition, the highly active platinum-based catalysts for hydrosilylation have remarkable susceptibility to deactivation upon reaction completion. Recently, redox-mediated electrosorption has been successfully demonstrated in a number of electrically conductive media as a separation platform. However, industrial hydrosilylation systems are carried out in highly nonconductive
