Popis: The electrocatalytic hydrogenolysis of different chlorophenolic compounds, namely 2-chlorophenol (2CP) and pentachlorophenol (PCP) was performed on nickel-silica (Ni-SiO2) and nickel-clay (Ni-CY) electrode catalyts. The influence of the catalytic support and the surfactant agent was studied in aqueous media at different pH. Results demonstrated that different regioselectivities were observed according to the used catalytic support. The cyclohexanone was obtained as the major product. In presence of ionic surfactants (SDS and CTAB), the investigated electrodes exhibited a promising dechlorination and hydrogenation potential of aromatic halides with high electrocatalytic activity and good stability.
