TL;DR - A Nature Communications study introduces a porous solid-electrolyte reactor that combines electrochemical biomass hydrogenation with product purification. It offers a potentially scalable, lower-energy route for converting maleic acid into high-purity succinic acid.

  • Na⁺ shuttling raises the local cathode-interface cation concentration and suppresses competing hydrogen evolution.
  • The reactor achieved about 85% Faradaic efficiency and over 98% final succinic acid purity without supporting electrolyte recovery.
  • Continuous operation remained stable for more than 500 hours.
  • Techno-economic analysis estimated a production cost of $0.1687 per kg of succinic acid.
