Research efforts in the energy storage community have highlighted the fundamental role of proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) processes. Problematics of energy-efficiency and facilitating PCET processes are also fundamental to electrochemical water purification methods. Here we discuss recent results from our group on electrochemical methods for the energy-efficient detection and reduction of highly carcinogenic hexavalent chromium from contaminated waters. The PCET processes underpinning the reaction will be discussed and results on facilitating these transformations using buffers and catalysts will be presented to improve the energy-efficiency of electrochemical water purification.
