Gas-phase volatile organic chloride electroreduction: A versatile experimental setup for electrolytic dechlorination and voltammetric analysis

Recent advances in electrocatalysts for halogenated organic pollutant degradation

“…1-hexene 107% (1); 1-hexene 22%, n-hexane 39%, 1,5hexadiene 18%, 5-hexen-1-ol 7% 2176  dimethylformamide;  tetramethylammonium perchlorate;  tetra-n-butylammonium tetrafluoroborate Nanosizing is an effective strategy to enhance the performance of Ag cathodes as well as to reduce the consumption of this precious metal. 172,177 Ag nanoparticles present distinctive capabilities that are different from the bulk material because of their decreased dimensions and improved surface to volume ratios. 178 For instance, Sui and co-workers 172 fabricated an Ag-ZSM-5/SS zeolite modified electrode with a facile one-step method, and Ag nanoparticles (average diameter of 9 nm) was formed in-situ with ZSM-5 films grown on the stainless steel.…”

Reductive dehalogenation of a chloroacetanilide herbicide in a flow electrochemical cell fitted with Ag‐modified Ni foams

“…Bimetallic and trimetallic electrodes such as Ag/Pd, Ag/Fe, Ag/Mg and Pd/Ag/Ni have proven their efficiency for the electrocatalytic reduction of chlorinated compounds . More recently, attention has been focused on nanostructured particles of silver due to their large surface‐to‐volume ratio that is critical for mass transfer and to the achievement of efficient composite materials with low precious metal loading …”

“…[37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47] More recently, attention has been focused on nanostructured particles of silver due to their large surface-to-volume ratio that is critical for mass transfer and to the achievement of efficient composite materials with low precious metal loading. [48][49][50] We recently reported an original method to prepare Ni foams modified with Ag nanoparticles by galvanic displacement and their use for reductive dechlorination of chloroacetanilide herbicides. 51 To go further into the environmental application and test the possibility to achieve a combined process involving an electrochemical pre-treatment followed by a biological process, we used Ag-modified Ni foams 51 in a flow electrochemical cell in different electrolytic media for dechlorination of Alachlor™.…”

Electrocatalytic reduction of PhCH2Cl on Ag-ZSM-5 zeolite modified electrode

“…Moreover, higher electrocatalytic activity was obtained on nano Ag electrodes for their higher active sites on the surface. [9][10][11][12] However, nanoparticles are in favor in aggregation without suitable substrates, which will decrease the catalytic activity.…”
