Thematics Electrochemical Material

electrochemical material

Electrochemical materials are critical in achieving optimal yields and selectivity in synthetic organic electrochemistry. The material is chosen based on its electrochemical and mechanical properties, and it determines the success or failure of a transformation. Electrodes are the most important factor to consider, as the success or selectivity of a particular transformation is highly dependent on the material. Electrochemical materials should be inexpensive, non-toxic, stable to a wide range of temperatures, pressures and solvents, yet able to be manipulated into forms for electrode construction, such as rods, wires, plates, foams, and meshes.

Applications of Electrochemical Materials

  • Organic Synthesis: Electrochemical materials are used in organic synthesis to achieve optimal yields and selectivity. The choice of material is critical as it can define the success or failure of a transformation.
  • Energy Production: Electrochemical materials play a crucial role in energy production, such as in batteries and fuel cells. They are used to facilitate the transfer of electrons, which is necessary for the production of electrical energy.
  • Corrosion Protection: Electrochemical materials can be used to protect metals from corrosion. This is achieved through the use of sacrificial anodes, which corrode instead of the metal they are protecting.
  • Sensing and Detection: Electrochemical materials are used in sensing and detection applications, such as in glucose monitoring devices and biosensors. They are used to facilitate the detection of analytes through the transfer of electrons.
  • Environmental Remediation: Electrochemical materials are used in environmental remediation to remove contaminants from water and soil. This is achieved through the use of electrochemical oxidation, which breaks down contaminants into harmless byproducts.

Advantages of Electrochemical Materials

  • High selectivity and sustainability benefits for organic compounds preparation.
  • Control of the rate, location, and driving force of electron-transfer processes.
  • Allows for the development of new synthetic methodology and reactivity.

FAQ

What are the materials used in electrochemical cell?

The materials used in an electrochemical cell are the anode, cathode, and electrolyte. The anode is the negative electrode that releases electrons to the external circuit and oxidizes during the electrochemical reaction. The cathode is the positive electrode that acquires electrons from the external circuit and is reduced during the electrochemical reaction. The electrolyte is the medium that provides the ion transport mechanism between the cathode and anode of a cell. The desirable properties for anode, cathode, and electrolyte materials include high efficiency, stability, good conductivity, ease of fabrication, and low cost.

What are the examples of electrochemical material?

Examples of electrochemical materials include anode materials for the oxidation of acetic acid, cathode materials for the reduction of acrylonitrile, and electrode materials for the cathodic hydrodimerization of formaldehyde to ethylene glycol. Selectivity for synthetic electrochemical reactions can be determined by the materials used, with electrode materials imparting control and variation of outcomes. The choice of electrode material can also switch reactivity on or off, such as with the cathodic hydrodimerization of formaldehyde only occurring with mercury or carbon cathodes. Understanding the influence of electrode materials can facilitate improved rationalization of differences in achieved yields or selectivity.
