Opening the pathway towards a scalable electrochemical semi-hydrogenation of alkynols<i>via</i>earth-abundant metal chalcogenides

Abstract

, Faraday efficiencies of up to 75%, and an alkene selectivity of up to 90%. In this scalable setup we demonstrate high stability of catalyst and electrode for at least 100 h. Altogether, we illustrate the successful integration of a sustainable catalyst into a scalable zero-gap electrolyser establishing electrosynthetic methods in an application-oriented manner.
