Recent research has shown that mechanochemical activation of piezoelectric materials can open new avenues in redox chemistry, mimicking established photoredox catalytic cycles. Proof-of-concept studies have demonstrated that mechanoredox chemistry holds great potential in sustainable and efficient radical-based synthesis.
Recent research endeavors have established that the mechanochemical activation of piezoelectric materials can open new avenues in redox chemistry. Impact forces, such as those imparted by a ball mill, have been shown to transform piezoelectric materials such as barium titanate (BaTiO3) into a highly polarized state, which can then donate an electron to a suitable oxidant and receive an electron from a suitable reductant, mimicking established photoredox catalytic cycles. Proof-of-concept studies have elucidated that mechanoredox chemistry holds great potential in sustainable and efficient radical-based synthesis.
