Electrosynthesis

In electrochemistry, electrosynthesis is the synthesis of chemical compounds in an electrochemical cell.[1][2][3][4] Compared to ordinary redox reactions, electrosynthesis sometimes offers improved selectivity and yields. Electrosynthesis is actively studied as a science and also has industrial applications. Electrooxidation has potential for wastewater treatment as well.
