With ESy-Screening, ESy-Labs offers the possibility to investigate known and unknown chemical reactions in a short time and at low cost for their transferability to electrosynthesis.
The electrolysis of organic chemical substances is highly complex.
In principle, four different electrolysis processes can be defined for undivided cells, which are used depending on the reaction under investigation. In addition, paired and divergent electrolysis can also be carried out in split cells if the substrates and/or products require this.
Additionally, there are three different ways in which electrolysis can take place on the electrode.
Therefore, electrolysis can take place via an inert electrode, a catalytically active electrode and a mediator. In conjunction with the electrolysis processes mentioned, there are a variety of possibilities for reaction management.
The influence of electrolyte, current density, temperature, electrode material and other parameters further increases the complexity and thus impressively demonstrates that statistical methods are indispensable in the optimization and execution of experiments. With our ESy-Screening, we address the optimization and scaling of electrochemical syntheses and provide access to this energy-efficient and material-saving synthesis technology.
The scale-up is directly linked to the ESy-Screening in order to be able to raise the processes to the technically relevant scale. The path for pot or flow cells is defined at an early stage and the process is further optimized using ESy-Screening.
