A team of chemists and engineers at MIT has found a new way to apply microfluidic electrochemical technologies to single-electron transfer (SET) redox-neutral reactions. In their paper published in the journal Science, the group describes introducing a microfluidic redox-neutral electrochemistry to the platform and explain why they believe it has broad applicability to SET chemistry. Jian-Quan Liu, Andrey Shatskiy and Markus Kärkäs have published a Perspective piece in the same journal issue outlining the recent history of photoredox catalysis and electrosynthesis, and explaining why it is an important component of the search for new synthetic methods—they also outline the work by the team at MIT.
