Electrosynthesis reactions have become an important field of study due to the increasing demand for sustainable and environmentally friendly chemical processes. Using a divided cell in electrosynthesis has shown promising results selectivity, efficiency, scalability. In this review, we discuss principles advantages using cells reactions, focusing on their application producing organic compounds. We also consider several factors that influence performance cells, such as choice electrode materials, membrane type, operating conditions. Furthermore, evaluate challenges limitations associated with electrosynthesis, including need high current densities management gas evolution.
