As the top industrial energy consumer, the chemical industry must rapidly develop new low-carbon technologies to lower the industry’s carbon footprint for preparing chemicals and materials for our everyday life. Current synthetic approaches have a low atom economy and rely on the functionalization of reagents with reactive groups that form desired products at elevated temperatures or pressures. These processes are wasteful and energy-intensive, they form hazardous side products and require energy for heating that is often provided by fossil fuels. Imagine a future where organic chemical reactions are driven with electricity from renewables with a high atom economy and fewer side products.…
