Electrochemical activation of C–H by electron-deficient W2C nanocrystals for simultaneous alkoxylation and hydrogen evolution

Designing electrode materials for mild and additive-free activation of C–H bonds is of great challenge. The authors report the application of electron-deficient W2C nanocrystal electrodes to boost the dissociation of C-H bonds toward the efficient alkoxylation and hydrogen evolution reactions.
