Classification: CPC C  Y | IPC C

Claim 0:
1. An asymmetric electrochemical system comprising:
a. a first electrode comprising a first conductive solid substrate and a first redox species immobilized to the first conductive solid substrate, wherein the first redox species in an oxidized state selectively binds to a target functional group of a target molecule such that the first redox species is configured to at least partially separate the target molecule from other competing organic anions and/or inorganic anions; and
b. a second electrode comprising a second conductive solid substrate and a second redox species immobilized to the second solid substrate, wherein the first redox species and the second redox species comprise different organometallic compounds, and wherein the second redox species is a neutral species in an oxidized state that is configured to become negatively charged upon reduction.
