电化学方法环境友好，在有机化学合成中具有独特的优势。然而，传统的电化学反应器存在复杂的传递问题，限制了电化学方法的应用。近年来，微反应技术在电合成研究中的应用缩短了离子的传递距离并增加了电极的比表面积，从而促成了高效、连续且易于规模化的电合成技术。本文从过程强化的角度讨论了在电合成中使用微通道的工程优势，分析了最近报道的电化学微反应器中的流型和传质行为，并列举了反应器放大的典型例子。作为一个相对较新的研究领域，在微反应器中进行电合成的许多科学规则和工程特征都有待研究。因此本文提出了潜在的研究重点，认为其对新型电合成技术的发展至关重要。

Electrochemical methods are environmentally friendly and have unique advantages in the synthesis of organic chemicals. However, their implementation is limited due to the complex transport problems posed by traditional electrochemical reactors. Recently, the application of microreaction technology in electrosynthesis studies has reduced the transport distance of ions and increased the specific surface area of electrodes, leading to efficient, successive, and easily scaled-up electrosynthesis technologies. In this review article, engineering advantages of using microchannels in electrosynthesis are discussed from process enhancement perspective. Flow patterns and mass transfer behaviors in recently reported electrochemical microreactors are analyzed, and prototypes for the reactor scale-up are reviewed. As a relatively new research area, many scientific rules and engineering features of electrosynthesis in microreactors require elucidation. Potential research foci, considered crucial for the development of novel electrosynthesis technology, are therefore proposed.
