Electrosynthesis of ethylene glycol from C1 feedstocks in a flow electrolyzer

Abstract Ethylene glycol is a widely utilized commodity chemical, the production of which accounts for over 46 million tons of CO2 emission annually. Here we report a paired electrocatalytic approach for ethylene glycol production from methanol. Carbon catalysts are effective in reducing formaldehyd...
