‘Ingenious and creative solution’ to electrochemistry’s ‘horrible wiring problem’

Tiny, light-powered devices could enable wireless high-throughput electrosynthesis on the microlitre scale. The researchers who designed them hope that the inexpensive devices will reduce the barrier for the broad use of electrochemistry in organic chemistry.
