Advancing sustainable chemistry through organic electrosynthesis: a perspective

Due to the advantages of green and sustainable chemistry, electrochemistry has attracted considerable interest from researchers in both academia and industry. Organic electrosynthesis has become a revolutionary strategy, which offers a greener and more energy-efficient option for traditional organic synthesis. This mini review summarizes examples of organic electrosynthesis that highlight the unique potential of organic electrosynthesis in asymmetric electrocatalysis, photoelectrocatalysis, heterogeneous electrocatalysis, and alternating current electrolysis, aiming to stimulate future progress in this rapidly evolving area.
