Abstract
Product-selectivity in the electroreduction of p-methylbenzaldehyde an d benzoic acid under ultrasonic irradiation are examined theoretically and experimentally on the basis of mass transport phenomena In the el ectrode interface. As a result, it was suggested that the selectivity is controlled by mass transfer coefficients which are greatly affected by cavitation and/or agitation effects of ultrasounds.
