Electrocatalytic hydrogenations of organics allow water to be used as the proton source but are limited by low substrate solubility in aqueous media or by low performance in organic electrolytes. Now, a Pickering emulsion system for electrocatalytic hydrogenation is presented to overcome those issues, where the hydrogenation reaction occurs at the interface between the aqueous and organic phases.
