Organic electrochemistry has been recognized as one of the top ten emerging technologies in chemistry by International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) in 2023. As a crucial branch of fundamental chemistry in undergraduate education, electrochemistry is primarily addressed in the context of inorganic chemistry (specifically redox reactions) and physical chemistry (in relation to electrolyte solutions). However, references to organic electrochemistry in undergraduate curricula are notably scarce. This article presents recent research trends in organic electrochemistry and discusses considerations for incorporating organic electrochemistry into undergraduate chemistry teaching.
