“…Alternatively, the same electrochemical technology with intermetallics can be applied in non-aqueous solvents to drive the other essential transformations such as regeneration of the triphenylphosphine from triphenylphosphine oxide as well as a one-pot Wittig olefination reaction that presently best driven by noble-metal catalysts. 238 Furthermore, the scope of the intermetallics can easily be extended electrochemical carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) reduction, a promising reaction to mitigate CO 2 emissions, where presently transition metals (in particularly Cu) have been used predominantly to yield high-end multicarbon products. Notably, the intermetallics can also be of special interest for the kinetically sluggish oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), an important cathodic reaction of fuel cell which is presently mediated by the metals, alloys, and carbons, etc.…”
