Bio-Electrocatalytic Conversion of Food Waste to Ethylene via Succinic Acid as the Central Intermediate

Reisner Lab researchers found a new approach which provides an alternative strategy to produce ethylene from food waste under ambient conditions using renewable energy

Abstract Ethylene is an important feedstock in the chemical industry, but currently requires production from fossil resources. The electrocatalytic oxidative…
