Electrochemistry sacrificial anode

For further details the reader is referred to the excellent paper by Chaussard et al. [149] Use of sacrificial anodes in electrochemical functionalization of organic halides and the paper by Silvestri et al. [178] Use of sacrificial anodes in synthetic electrochemistry. Processes involving carbon dioxide . 

One of the most intriguing developments in the field of industrial electrochemistry is electrochemical couplings with sacrificial anodes. In the 1980s, the French company SNPE developed the prototype of a specific cell for this purpose, the so-called pencil-sharpener cell [81].
