Preliminary study on electrochemical microflow system
An array of microelectrode with different scales were fabricated by micro electro mechanical system(MEMS)technology,and electrochemical microflow systems were designed.According to the characteristics of electrosynthesis of glyoxylic acid,the electrochemical oxidation of glyoxal was chosen to demonstrate the utility of the microflow system designed in the present study.The results showed that the microflow system with simple geometry was easy to control and had the continuous production of products.The electrosynthesis of glyoxylic acid from glyoxal without attentionally adding of supporting electrolyte can be carried out in the system.
