Product distribution of electrochemical CO2 reduction in acidic media (pH=2) can be steered by different electrolytes with commercially relevant current density. Different coverage of Na+ and K+ ions is found to modulate the local electronic structure on the catalyst surface.

In this invited mini-review, we review a series of recent advances in the organic synthesis of C-18F bonds (2015-2021), including non-catalytic radiofluorinations via good leaving functional groups, transition metal-catalyzed radiofluorinations, and photo- or electro-catalytic synthetic radiofluorinations. As a result of the remarkable advancements in this field, organic synthetic methods for forming C-18F bonds are expected to continue to grow.

We hope to introduce the elementary principles of PCET to organic chemists in a concise but practical way, for
helping them explore and develop new organic synthetic methodologies using this process in the future.
