Abstract
Adipic acid is an important platform molecule for the production of nylon polymers. Production of adipic acid with electrocatalytic technology has shown significant advantages compared to traditional thermochemical synthesis processes, such as avoiding the environmental issues and generating green hydrogen energy. In this review, we summarize the recent progesses in electrocatalytic ketone-alcohol (KA) oil oxidation to adipic acid. The reaction mechanism of ketone-alcohol oxidation to adipic acid is discussed firstly, following this, the advances of electrocatalysts (oxides, hydroxides, and oxyhydroxides, etc.) and modifications (i.e., defect engineering, cation doping, surface active agent modification and carbon composite materials) for improving the catalytic performance are summarized. At last, we provide a summary about the remaning challenges and future prospects.
