1. Development of high-performance and low-toxicity cathode materials, which can catalyze the electrohydrodimerization of acrylonitrile into hexamethylenediamine at ambient conditions.
2. Development of high-performance and low-toxicity anode materials, which can catalyze the electrochemical oxidation of hexanediol to adipic acid at ambient conditions.
3. We develop low-cost, facile, and scalable solution-based deposition methods to prepare the electrode materials.
4. Development of an efficient electrosyntheic system that can produce hexamethylenediamine and adipic acid at ambient conditions with acrylonitrile, hexanediol and water as feedstocks.
