Abstract

Abstract : Bipolar electrochemistry, symbolized by the two electrodes at the opposite sides of the picture, can trigger the bioelectrocatalytic reduction of the important enzymatic cofactor NAD +, as reported by Lin Zhang, Alexander Kuhn et al. in their Communication (e202111804) . The reaction occurs on the negatively polarized side—indicated by the δ − sign—of surface‐modified catalytically active beads—illustrated by the planets—suspended in the bulk phase of an electrolyte. This wireless electrochemical approach allows a systematic tuning of the increase in conversion efficiency.
