The area of electrochemistry and electrification of chemistry is growing. Electricity could provide electrons in the most straightforward way instead of using bulky, toxic and expensive reagents. However, the main obstacle is the requirement of an electric conductor. Most of the organic media and solvents are non-ionic and are non-conductive. As a result, the applicability of electrochemistry is extremely limited. In the project, you will study the application of plasma to non-conductive organic media aiming to open a way for more efficient chemistry and more sustainable processes.
