Acrylonitrile Conversion on Metal Cathodes: How Surface Adsorption Determines the Reduction Pathways

Shutao Wu et al.

Summary: The electrochemical dimerization of acrylonitrile on metal cathodes is a simple and green method for producing adiponitrile, the raw material for nylon 66. The production rate of ADN and byproducts is highly related to the surface adsorption state, where high ADN selectivity is obtained when the surface is mainly covered by AN. Substitution of AN with hydrogen promotes surface hydrogenation to form propionitrile, while a full coverage of hydrogen exclusively leads to hydrogen evolution.
