The principles of bipolar electrochemistry and its electroanalysis applications

Electrochemistry‐Based Light‐Emitting Mobile Systems

“…For example, a copper wire, used as a bipolar electrode (BPE), can be propelled in folded channels with different angles (from 30° to 180°) due to the asymmetric formation of hydrogen bubbles at the cathodic side [52] . For a more detailed description of this technique the reader is invited to consult other publications [53–57] …”

Asymmetry controlled dynamic behavior of autonomous chemiluminescent Janus microswimmers

“…BE is an interesting and simple approach to break the symmetry of conducting and semiconducting objects. [40][41][42][43][44] When a conducting object is exposed in solution to an external electric eld (3), applied between two feeder electrodes, a polarization potential difference (DV) is generated between the extremities of the object. It can be calculated as DV ¼ 3 Â d, where d is the characteristic size of the conducting object along the electric eld lines.…”

Remote Actuation of a Light‐Emitting Device Based on Magnetic Stirring and Wireless Electrochemistry

“…Bipolar electrochemistry (BPE) has encountered a strong renewal of interest during the last two decades. To date, an increasing number of applications in analytical chemistry and materials science were already proposed . For example, the design of tailored surface gradients or particles, single cell‐capture devices, polymer light‐emitting electrochemical cells and various analytical platforms were reported .…”
