Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of electrochemical technology, specifically to an electrochemical double hydrogenation three-cell system and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Organic hydrogenation is one of the most critical technological revolutions in the chemical industry, playing a vital role in the production of fine and pharmaceutical chemicals. However, the high-temperature, high-pressure catalytic conditions and the large-scale use of hydrogen severely limit the large-scale application of thermocatalytic organic hydrogenation. Electrochemical organic hydrogenation has emerged as a promising alternative to traditional thermocatalytic hydrogenation, offering the possibility of generating active hydrogen at ambient temperature and pressure, avoiding the production, storage, transportation, and processing of hydrogen. However, the kinetics of the oxygen evolution reaction at the anode in organic hydrogenation are slow, producing low-value oxygen, which leads to significant energy waste. Thermodynamically, the electrochemical oxidation of organic matter is favorable, producing valuable organic products. However, the adsorbed hydrogen generated by the electrooxidation of organic matter is easily converted into water or coupled to form hydrogen gas at the anode. How to cleverly utilize the adsorbed hydrogen generated at the anode for organic hydrogenation, while simultaneously coupling organic hydrogenation at the cathode to break the Faraday limit, remains a significant challenge.

[0102] Hydrogenation performance test

[0103] The electrochemical dual-hydrogenation three-cell system assembled in Examples 1-4 was used to test the hydrogenation performance. The reaction solution was added to a dichloromethane extract to extract the liquid product.
