ESy-Organics

Based on ESy-Screening, electroconversions of academically known and unknown reactions can be optimized in terms of selectivity and yield. In order to ultimately provide our customers with complete processes, it is essential to consider the cell design, the electrode material and the preparation method of raw products. As part of ESy-Organics, we develop tailor-made electrolysis cells with our cooperation partners, screen for electrode materials, develop them further if required, and develop conversion processes from the substrate to the product. The focus here is always on sustainable and gentle conversion.
