在常温常压下，采用电化学方法，以丙三醇和CO2为原料合成了丙三醇碳酸酯，并详细考察了各种条件对该反应的影响规律. 择优条件下，目标碳酸酯的产率可达73%，远远高于普通的催化方法. 并借助循环伏安曲线研究了反应体系的电化学行为，分析了整个反应的可能历程.
Glycerol carbonate was obtained from glycerol and carbon dioxide under room temperature and normal pressure by electrochemical method. The effects of synthesis conditions, such as cathode, charge, current density and temperature, on the reaction of glycerol and carbon dioxide have been investigated. The yields of 73% were produced by electrosynthesis of carbonate under the optimized condition, which is much higher than that by common catalysis method. The electrochemical behavior of the reaction system has been studied by cyclic voltammetry, through which the reaction process has been proposed.
