Automated Microfluidics for Efficient Characterization of Cyclohexanol Electrooxidation for Sustainable Chemical Production.

ABSTRACT: The electrochemical conversion of biomass-derived compounds into value-added chemicals using renewable electricity has attracted attention as a promising pathway for sustainable chemical production, with the electrooxidation of cyclohexanol being a typical example. However, optimizing and upscaling these processes have been hindered due to a limited understanding of the underlying mechanisms and limiting factors. To address this, there is a critical need for experimental tools that enable more efficient and reproducible measurements of these complex processes. In this work, we develop an automated microfluidic platform and use it to conduct controlled and efficient measurements of cyclohexanol electrooxidation on nickel electrodes under various electrolyte compositions and flow rates.
