Utilizing Waste Heat to Drive Selective Green Organic Conversion through a Thermoelectrocatalytic Process

oxidation. Scaling up this catalysis to a 2 L volume, powered solely by a low-temperature waste heat source (ΔT = ≈50 K), demonstrates continuous production of benzaldehyde with a high conversion ratio of 81.3% and superior selectivity of over 99% in 8 h. This successful endeavor highlights the great potential of TE nanomaterials in recycling waste thermal energy for green chemistry, marking a significant advancement toward economical and sustainable practices.
