  • Method for the selective catalytic hydrogenation of organic compounds, and electrode and electrochemical cell for said method
    Patent number: 12781357
    Abstract: A process for electrocatalytic hydrogenation of organic compounds in an electrochemical cell in which the reducible organic compound is present in liquid form or at least partially in dissolved form and wherein the reducible organic compound may be hydrogenated at the cathode. The cathode comprises a transition metal chalcogenide selected from sulfides, selenides and tellurides as catalyst. The application further relates to an electrode comprising a carrier material and a layer of the catalyst arranged thereupon and to an electrochemical cell comprising such an electrode and to the use of the transition metal chalcogenide catalyst for electrochemical hydrogenation of organic compounds.
    Type: Grant
