1. A method, comprising:

  • contacting an anode with an anode electrolyte wherein the anode electrolyte comprises metal halide, one or more lanthanide halides, and water wherein the one or more lanthanide halides are in concentration range of between about 0.4-10 mol %;

    contacting cathode with a cathode electrolyte;

    applying voltage to the anode and the cathode and oxidizing the metal halide from a lower oxidation state to a higher oxidation state at the anode; and

    reacting an unsaturated hydrocarbon or a saturated hydrocarbon with the metal halide in the higher oxidation state and the one or more lanthanide halides in the anode electrolyte, to result in one or more products comprising halohydrocarbon.
