organic electrosynthesis;  electrocatalysis;  electrode process kinetics;  indirect electrosynthesis;  Paired electrosynthesis

The basic principle and research method of organic electrochemical synthesis, a high-efficiency "green synthesis" technology, were expounded. The advantages of organic electrochemical synthesis over conventional organic synthesis are discussed in that it can eliminate the root cause of pollution caused by traditional organic synthesis. Combined with the industrialization examples at home and abroad in recent years, the important role of organic electrosynthesis technology in the implementation of the "green chemical" strategy was discussed, and the latest development direction and application field of organic electrosynthesis were discussed, pointing out that organic electrosynthesis will become a hot spot in the research of various basic chemical disciplines and applied technologies in the 21st century.
