Abstract
Methods of electrochemically dehydrogenating chemical reactants to generate dehydrogenated products, such as olefins. The methods can include adsorbing a chemical reactant to an electrode, dehydrogenating the adsorbed chemical reactant to yield an adsorbed dehydrogenated product, and desorbing the adsorbed dehydrogenated product to yield a dehydrogenated product by applying various electrical potentials to the electrode without the need to employ extreme temperatures and pressures.
