Spatial‐coupled Ampere‐level Electrochemical Propylene Epoxidation over RuO2/Ti Hollow‐fiber Penetration Electrodes.

The electrochemical propylene epoxidation reaction (PER) provides a promising route for ecofriendly propylene oxide (PO) production, instantly generating active halogen/oxygen species to alleviate chloride contamination inherent in traditional PER. However, the complex processes and unsatisfactory PO yield for current electrochemical PER falls short of meeting industrial application requirements. Herein, a spatial‐coupling strategy over RuO2/Ti hollow‐fiber penetration electrode (HPE) is adopted to facilitate efficient PO production, significantly improving PER performance to ampere level (achieving over 80 % PO faradaic efficiency and a maximum PO current density of 859 mA cm−2). The synergetic combination of the penetration effect of HPE and the spatial‐coupled reaction sequence, enables the realization of ampere‐level PO production with high specificity, exhibiting significant potentials for economically viable PER applications.
