This work entails the integrated use of electrochemistry and operando Raman spectroscopy to probe the reduction of a biomass platform, furfural, to value-added chemicals on Cu electrodes. The results reveal key structural differences of the Cu that dictate selectivity for furfuryl alcohol or 2-methylfuran.

Electrochemical methods offer unique advantages for chemical synthesis, as the reaction selectivity may be controlled by tuning the applied potential or current. Similarly, measuring the current or potential during the reaction can provide valuable mechanistic insights into these reactions. The aim of this tutorial review is to explain the use of cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry to interrogate reaction mechanisms, optimize electrochemical reactions, or design new reactions.

Article Synopsis
- Electrochemistry is gaining traction in various chemistry fields, prompting the need to overcome limitations of traditional electrochemical cells, particularly regarding mass transport.
- A new design approach involves using a thin layer electrode (TLE) that confines the reaction to a thin layer of solution, enabling faster electrolysis reactions comparable to advanced electroanalytical methods.
- The TLE was effectively utilized for electrosynthetic applications, notably in studying drug metabolites like paracetamol, allowing real-time monitoring of redox-active components during quick electrosynthesis processes.

Recently, non-Faradaic effects were used to modify the electronic structure and reactivity of electrode-bound species. We hypothesize that these electrostatic perturbations could influence the chemical reactivity of electrolyte species near an electrode in the absence of Faradaic electron transfer. A prime example of non-Faradaic effects is acid-base dissociation near an interface.

However, most works within the direction of synthetic heterogeneous electrocatalysis focus on water electrolysis and CO reduction. In this work, we moved to expand the scope of small molecule electrosynthesis by developing a synthetic scheme which couples CO and NH at a gas-liquid-solid boundary to produce species with C-N bonds.
