Several contaminants are coming in the way of ecological stability, and all these contaminants are coming from pharmaceutical waste, industrial waste, utilities of daily requirements, various non-natural human activities, etc., and contaminating the environment, wildlife and various natural bodies, like drinking water [1].The presence of these contaminants …







A method for C-H bond amination via an electrophotocatalytic Ritter-type reaction is described. The reaction is catalyzed by a trisaminocyclopropenium (TAC) ion in an electrochemical cell under irradiation. These conditions convert benzylic C-H bonds to acetamides without the use of a stoichiometric …

The electroreduction of CO2 plays an important role in achieving a net-zero carbon economy. Imidazolium cations can be used to enhance the rate of CO2 reduction reactions, but the origin of this promotion remains poorly understood. In this work, we show that in the presence of 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium (EMIM+), CO2 reduction on Ag electrodes occurs with an apparent …





Sodium metal batteries have attracted increasing interest recently, but suffer from severe dendrite growth caused by uneven Na plating/stripping behavior, which may result in the piercing of the membrane, with short circuiting and even cause explosions. Herein, a conductive and sodiophilic Ag coating layer i



The electrocatalytic conversion of waste nitrate (NO3–) into value-added ammonia (NH3) is a promising water treatment approach to remedy environmental pollution. However, developing catalyst design and optimization strategies to control the reaction selectivity remains a challenge. We report on an underexplored approach to overcome this challenge by tuning the …



The 239th ECS Meeting and the 18th International Meeting on Chemical Sensors (IMCS) bring together the most active researchers in academia, government, and industry—both professionals and students—to engage, discuss, and innovate in the areas of electrochemistry and solid state science and technology.





Electrochemical hydrogenation of acetonitrile based on well-developed proton exchange membrane electrolyzers holds great promise for practical production of ethylamine. However, the local acidic condition of proton exchange membrane results in severe competitive proton reduction reaction and poor se …



Electrochemical cells. A typical electrochemical cell for EIS measurements on coated metals consists of a cylinder that contains the solution, the reference electrode (SCE, Ag/AgCl, etc.) and the counter-electrode, which can be a Pt, Ni or Ti grid. The cell is usually clamped on the metallic sample that acts as the working electrode. However, variations of this configuration have been …









The proliferation of anthropogenic activities, such as the overuse of fertilizers in agriculture and the emission of pollutants from industry, have thrown the global nitrogen cycle off balance. 1, 2 Nitrate-N (NO 3 −), as a widespread nitrogenous substance in water, poses numerous detrimental impacts on both aquatic ecosystems and human health, leading to …





Illustration of an electrochemical biosensor system. Typically, in electrochemistry biosensors, when an exposed active site is immobilized with an analyte, it would either produce a quantifiable current (amperometric), a quantifiable resistance and reactance (impedimetric), or measure the conductive behaviors of the ambience between electrodes (conductometric).
