Organic chemists have made and are still making enormous efforts toward the development of
novel green catalytic synthesis. The necessity arises from the imperative of safeguarding human health and the environment, while ensuring an efficient and sustainable chemical production. Within this context, electrocatalysis provides a framework for the design of new organic reactions under mild conditions. Undoubtedly, nanostructured materials are under the spotlight as the most popular and in most cases efficient platforms for advanced organic electrosynthesis. This Minireview focuses on the recent developments in the use of nanostructured electrocatalysts, highlighting the link between their chemical structures and their resulting catalytic abilities, and pointing to future perspectives on their application in cutting-edge areas.
