Shifting our dependence from fossil fuels does not only require clean ways to produce energy but also alternative pathway for the sustainable production of chemicals. Electrochemistry can help us in this direction, enabling the formation of value-added product from cheap and abundant feedstock, including waste, via emerging electrochemical reactions.

This symposium invites contributions from cutting-edge and challenging electrocatalytic reactions, aimed at decarbonizing energy, fuels or chemicals productions. The focus will span from catalyst design to mechanistic and theoretical studies, applied to emerging reactions. The reactions covered will include but will not be limited to ammonia synthesis, nitrate reduction, biomass electro-oxidation and C-N coupling.
