    Recently, in the latest issue of Science, Leow et al.


    In this research work, under industrial current density, ethylene and propylene can be electrochemically oxidized to ethylene oxide and propylene oxide, respectively, and the Faraday selection efficiency is about 70%


    Leow et al.


    The dissolved chlorine in the anode solution is decomposed into hydrochloric acid and hypochlorous acid (HCl and HOCl, respectively)


    The energy intensity can be reduced through battery design (for example, changing the flow rate or electrode thickness), but the pairing of electrochemical reactions (Cl2 and H2) is unlikely to reduce the energy intensity below the chlor-alkali process because it is proportional to the battery voltage


    Although Leow et al.
