Highly selective electrosynthesis of biphenols on graphite electrodes in fluorinated media.
2011
The direct and selective phenol coupling reaction that provides biphenols still represents a challenge in organic synthesis. The recently developed electrosynthesis on boron-doped diamond anodes with fluorinated additives was developed further to allow the application to less-expensive electrodes and fluorinated media. This advanced protocol allows the highly selective anodic phenol coupling reaction on graphite with a broad scope.
Stereoselective cathodic synthesis of 8-substituted (1R,3R,4S)-menthylamines.
2015
The electrochemical generation of menthylamines from the corresponding menthone oximes equipped with an additional substituent in position 8 is described. Due to 1,3-diaxial interactions a pronounced diastereoselectivity for the menthylamines is found.
Oxidative C-N fusion of pyridinyl-substituted porphyrins.
2018
International audience; The mild (electro) chemical oxidation of pyridin-2-ylthio-meso substituted Ni(II) porphyrins affords C-N fused cationic and dicationic pyridinium-based derivatives. These porphyrins are fully characterized and the molecular structure of one of them was confirmed by X-ray crystallography. A mechanism for the intramolecular oxidative C-N coupling is proposed based on theoretical calculations and cyclic voltammetry analyses.
Electrodeposited nickel–zinc alloy nanostructured electrodes for alkaline electrolyzer
2022
Abstract Over the last decade, as a consequence of the global decarbonization process, the interest towards green hydrogen production has drastically increased. In particular a substantial research effort has focused on the efficient and affordable production of carbon-free hydrogen production processes. In this context, the development of more efficient electrolyzers with low-cost electrode/electrocatalyst materials can play a key role. This work, investigates the fabrication of electrodes of nickel-zinc alloys with nanowires morphology cathode for alkaline electrolyzers. Electrodes are obtained by the simple method of template electrosynthesis that is also inexpensive and easily scalable.…
Crosslinking of poly(vinylpyrrolidone) activated by electrogenerated hydroxyl radicals: a first step towards a simple and cheap synthetic route of na…
2016
A facile electrosynthesis route for the preparation of polymer nanogels based on the in situ production of hydroxyl radicals is reported for the first time. Electro-Fenton process with continuous H2O2 electrogeneration and Fe2+ regeneration performs better than electro-oxidation with a boron-doped diamond or dimensionally stable anode for promoting crosslinking of poly(vinylpyrrolidone). Keywords: Electrogenerated hydroxyl radicals, BDD, DSA, Electro-Fenton, Polymer modification, Nanogel
Mechanism of the palladium-catalysed electrosynthesis of diethyl carbonate from carbon monoxide and ethanol
2004
Abstract A mechanism is proposed for the PdBr2(PPh3)2-catalysed electrosynthesis of diethyl carbonate from carbon monoxide and ethanol, proceeding at room temperature and atmospheric CO pressure. The mechanism is investigated by cyclic voltammetry and 31P NMR spectroscopy. The active Pd0 complex able to coordinate CO is generated by the chemical reduction of PdBr2(PPh3)2 by EtO– ions generated from EtOH at the cathode. After reaction of EtO– ions with Pd0(PPh3)2(CO), the ensuing anionic complex [(PPh3)2Pd0–COOEt]– is oxidized at the anode in a key step leading to BrPdII–COOEt(PPh3)2. A nucleophilic attack of ethoxide on the latter generates diethyl carbonate and the Pd0 complex active in th…

Ultrafast lead-acid battery with nanostructured Pb and PbO2 electrodes
2018
Lead-acid batteries (LABs) are still extensively used in the field of energy storage, owing to a well-known and reliable technology. LABs can deliver high power and store energy for a very long time. In addition, they are reliable and easy to produce. The raw materials for their manufacture are practically unlimited, and about 95% of the materials can be recovered and reused. However, the lower specific energy storage (about 30-40 Wh kg-1), in comparison with other storage systems, limits their use in the most emerging and challenging applications, like electrical mobility, due to the high atomic weight of lead [1]. One of the principal limitations in the use of LABs in electric vehicles (E…
