First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . An electrochemical reactor comprising at least one apparatus comprising: at least one reactor body; at least one 3D porous electrode and at least one AC source; wherein said electrochemical reactor does not include a stirring element. 2 . An electrochemical reactor according to claim 1 , wherein said at least one 3D porous electrode is an RVC electrode. 3 . An electrochemical reactor according to claim 1 , wherein said at least one 3D porous electrode has a porosity of at least 5 ppi. 4 . An electrochemical reactor according to claim 1 , wherein said at least one 3D porous electrode has a porosity of at least 10 ppi. 5 . An electrochemical reactor according to claim 1 , wherein said at least one 3D porous electrode has a porosity of between about 5 to 30 ppi. 6 . An electrochemical reactor according to claim 1 , wherein said reactor is a batch reactor. 7 . An electrochemical reactor according to claim 1 , wherein said reactor is a flow reactor. 8 . An electrochemical reactor according to claim 1 , comprising at least two 3D porous electrodes. 9 . An electrochemical reactor according to claim 1 , comprising at least two 3D porous electrodes; wherein each of said 3D porous electrodes is separated in said reactor by at least one glass separator. 10 . An electrochemical reactor according to claim 1 , being scaled to industrial organic electrosynthesis reactions. 11 . A method of performing organic electrosynthesis, said method comprising providing an electrochemical reactor comprising at least one apparatus comprising: at least one reactor body; at least one 3D porous electrode and at least one AC source; wherein said electrochemical reactor does not include a stirring element; filling said reactor with electrosynthesis reactants; and applying AC through said filled electrochemical reactor; thereby performing said organic electrosynthesis. 12 . A method according to claim 11 , wherein said electrosynthesis is selected from redox-neutral reaction, amination reaction, esterification reaction, etherification reaction and any combinations thereof. 13 . A method according to claim 11 , wherein said at least one 3D porous electrode is an RVC electrode. 14 . A method according to claim 11 , wherein said at least one 3D porous electrode has a porosity of at least 5 ppi. 15 . A method according to claim 11 , wherein said at least one 3D porous electrode has a porosity of at least 10 ppi. 16 . A method according to claim 11 , wherein said at least one 3D porous electrode has a porosity of between about 5 to 30 ppi. 17 . A method according to claim 11 , wherein said reactor is a batch reactor or a flow reactor. 18 . A method according to claim 11 , comprising at least two 3D porous electrodes. 19 . A method according to claim 11 , comprising at least two 3D porous electrodes; wherein each of said 3D porous electrodes is separated in said reactor by at least one glass separator. 20 . A method according to claim 11 , being scaled to industrial organic electrosynthesis reactions.
