<p>The electrochemical chlorine evolution reaction (CER) is an important and has been widely used in chlor–alkali electrolysis, on-site generation of ClO<sup>−</sup>, Cl<sub>2</sub>-mediated electrosynthesis. Although precious metal-based mixed metal oxides (MMOs) have as CER catalysts for more than half a century, they intrinsically suffer from selectivity problem...

Nine preparations of six antiseptic substances were applied to the perineum of pregnant women at term in order to assess their efficacy in sterilizing the skin. The efficacy, in descending order of effectiveness, after three minutes' exposure, was p-chlor-m-xylenol in alcohol (surgical Dettol); chlorhexidine gluconate in detergent (Hibiscrub), followed by the aqueous preparations p-chlor-m-xyle...

R&D on electrochemical approaches for chemical manufacturing is experiencing a renaissance, the direct result of society’s desire to reduce greenhouse gas emissions industry, aiming be carbon neutral by 2050. Two such processes have been performed decades at scale: chlor-alkali process that produces chlorine from aqueous sodium chloride, and production adiponitrile, an intermediate in nylon...
