Assessment of the beneficial combination of electrochemical and ultrasonic activation of compounds originating from biomass
TL;DR: It was found that higher current densities were obtained under ultrasonic conditions over the potential range of +0.25 V to +1.10 V vs. rhe, indicating that higher oxidation rates were provided under ultrasonication, and that higher electrochemical activity was obtained in the presence of ultrasound than in the absence.
