Managing electrolyte flow boosts the efficiency of continuous oxime electrosynthesis to over 95.

ABSTRACT: Electrified chemosynthesis shows great promise for sustainable chemical manufacturing. However, the reaction efficiency in continuous flow electrochemistry is currently unsatisfactory due to restricted mass transport at the two-phase boundary. Here we present an effective flow management strategy involving electrolyzer structural optimization to intensify the localized electrochemical process. We demonstrate this approach using the electrosynthesis of cyclohexanone oxime from cyclohexanone and nitrite as a representative example. The cathodic counterpart is regulated by a flow-through channel architecture that drives the significant electrolyte convection throughout the porous electrode matrix and minimizes the hydrodynamic diffusion distance, giving the catalyst full accessibility to the
