Abstract Three-dimensional (3D) grid porous electrodes introduce vertically aligned pores as a convenient path for the transport of lithium-ions (Li-ions), thereby reducing total distance Li-ions and improving reaction kinetics. Although there have been other studies focusing on 3D fabricated by printing, still exists gap between electrode design their electrochemical performance. In this study, we try to bridge through comprehensive investigation effects various parameters including...

Abstract Arylation of carbonyls, one the most common approaches toward alcohols, has received tremendous attention, as alcohols are important feedstocks and building blocks in organic synthesis. Despite great progress, there is still a gap to develop an ideal arylation method featuring mild conditions, good functional group tolerance, readily available starting materials. We now show that electrochemical can fill gap. By taking advantage synthetic electrochemistry, commercially aldehydes...
