Electrochemical CO reduction is an electrocatalysis method in which carbon monoxide is reduced at a copper cathode to value-added fuels and feedstocks, chiefly ethylene, ethanol, acetate, and methane.
Electrochemical CO2 capture with quinones
Electrochemical CO2 capture with quinones uses battery-like redox cells in which quinones bind CO2 when reduced and release it when oxidized, using electricity instead of heat.

Electrochemical CO2 reduction to formate converts carbon dioxide into formate or formic acid at a cathode, a leading route for turning waste CO2 into value-added chemicals.
Electrochemical cross-coupling
Electrochemical cross-coupling forms carbon–carbon and carbon–heteroatom bonds using electrode-supplied electrons instead of stoichiometric chemical reagents, a field that has grown rapidly since the mid-2010s.
Electrochemical cross-electrophile coupling
Electrochemical cross-electrophile coupling (eXEC) is a carbon–carbon bond-forming reaction joining two electrophiles, such as organic halides, under nickel catalysis with reducing equivalents supplied by electricity instead of metal reductants.
Electrochemical dearomatization
Electrochemical dearomatization is a set of organic synthesis methods that use electrode electrons instead of chemical oxidants to convert planar aromatic rings into sp3-rich cyclic products.
Electrochemical difunctionalization
Electrochemical difunctionalization is a class of organic reactions that adds two functional groups across alkene or alkyne bonds using electrode-driven electric current instead of chemical oxidants.
Electrochemical flow chemistry
Electrochemical flow chemistry performs electrochemical reactions, where electrodes replace chemical oxidants and reductants, in a flowing reactor rather than a batch vessel, and is regarded as the best scale-up strategy for electrosynthesis.

Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), also known as AC impedance spectroscopy, applies small sinusoidal voltages across many frequencies to separate processes like charge transfer, diffusion, and adsorption.
Electrochemical Kolbe-type couplings
Electrochemical Kolbe-type couplings are anodic decarboxylative reactions in which carboxylic acids are oxidized at an electrode to form carbon radicals that forge new carbon–carbon bonds.

Electrochemical nitrate reduction (NO3RR) is an electrocatalytic method that converts dissolved nitrate ions into ammonia or nitrogen gas, for ammonia synthesis and nitrate removal from water.
Electrochemical nitrogen reduction
Electrochemical nitrogen reduction (NRR) is an electrocatalytic method that converts atmospheric nitrogen into ammonia at an electrode, pursued as an alternative to the Haber–Bosch process.
Electrochemical organocatalysis
Electrochemical organocatalysis combines organocatalysis, catalysis by small metal-free organic molecules, with anodic or cathodic electron transfer, so an electrode replaces stoichiometric chemical oxidants or reductants in asymmetric synthesis.
Electrochemical oxidation
Electrochemical oxidation is a chemical reaction in which an atom or molecule loses electrons at the anode when current is passed, used in organic synthesis and water treatment.
Electrochemical oxidative coupling
Electrochemical oxidative coupling is a synthetic method that joins two organic substrates by anodic oxidation at an electrode, replacing stoichiometric chemical oxidants with electricity and releasing hydrogen at the cathode.
Electrochemical pH-swing CO2 capture with quinone electrodes
Electrochemical pH-swing CO2 capture with quinone electrodes is a carbon-capture method where electrochemically reduced and oxidized quinones shift the pH of a solution, absorbing CO2 at high pH and releasing it at low pH.
Electrochemical polymerization
Electrochemical polymerization, also called electropolymerization, is a synthesis method in which an electrode's applied potential grows polymer films, chiefly conducting polymers such as polypyrrole and PEDOT.
Electrochemical potential
The electrochemical potential is the partial molar Gibbs energy of a substance at a specified electric potential, combining chemical and electrical contributions and underlying the Nernst equation.
