PhD project title: Making Electrosynthesis Water-Friendly
Summary of Project: One of the technical and scientific challenges of the 21st century is to develop and deploy sustainable methods of using traditional carbon-based fuels, together with the rapidly increasing amount of new carbon-neutral electricity. The chemical industry is a major energy consumer, and one obvious solution towards efficiently integrating renewable electricity into chemical manufacturing is the electrification of industrial organic reactions, that is, replacing conventional molecular reactants with electricity. However, while there are several hundreds of known organic electro-synthetic processes, only a handful are implemented industrially. Examples of electrochemical organic syntheses that have progressed beyond the pilot plant stage are rare. The limited industrial success for organic electricity-driven reactions lies in the difficulty of finding reactions that proceed, with viable speed and selectivity, in the solvent of choice in industry: water. While on the one hand limited reaction viability in bulk water appears as a seemingly insurmountable technical task, on the other hand chemists are aware of the dramatic acceleration or reaction rates reported for several organic reactions when they occur at the water’s surface, instead of in bulk water. Our 2020 proof-of-concept of the corona of a surface bubble catalysing specific sets of redox reactions (hydroxide anions to hydroxyl radicals, and the stepwise radical polymerization of aniline analogues) has overturned the long-held assumption that surface-adherent gas cavities are redox-inactive, and defined a method to merge on-water catalysis and electro organic synthesis.
