Microstructured Reactors for Electrochemical Synthesis

In the first section, some fundamentals of electrochemical processes are defined. Common industrially relevant process flow schemes and equipment are described in the second section. The third section discusses the interest of microstructured reactors in electrochemical synthesis and gives an overview of the recent literature in this area.
