Capillary gap reaction device

Capillary gap reaction device

1. Small electrode gap greatly reduces electrolyte consumption.
2. Sufficient effective electrode reaction area for superior space‑time yield.
3. Excellent mass‑transfer conditions facilitate tuning of reaction selectivity.
4. Significantly reduced ohmic voltage drop and improved electric energy utilization efficiency.

For electro‑oxidation of 2‑methylfuran to synthesize 2‑methyl‑2,5‑dimethoxy‑2,5‑dihydrofuran (2‑MDDF):This setup achieves conversion＞99%, yield＞93% and current efficiency＞90%. Compared with conventional electrolytic cells, the space‑time yield is increased by 5‑fold, and the cell voltage drops from 8.0 V to 3.8 V.
