Developing new materials is a long-standing goal that extends across the fields of synthesis,
catalysis, nanotechnology and materials science. Transforming one compound or material …

This is a tutorial on use of external-electric-fields (EEFs) as effectors of chemical change.
The tutorial instructs readers how to conceptualize and design electric-field effects on bonds …

This Perspective discusses oriented external-electric-fields (OEEF), and other electric-field
types, as “smart reagents”, which enable in principle control over wide-ranging aspects of …

Electric fields underlie all reactions and impact reactivity by interacting with the dipoles and
net charges of transition states, products, and reactants to modify the free energy landscape …

Oriented external electric fields (OEEFs) as' smart reagents' are no longer a theoretical
dream. Here, we discuss the wide-ranging potential of using OEEFs to catalyse and control …

The use of external electric fields as green and efficient catalysts in synthetic chemistry has
recently received significant attention for their ability to deliver remarkable control of reaction …

Static electricity is central to many day-to-day practical technologies, from separation
methods in the recycling of plastics to transfer inks in photocopying, but the exploration of …

This Perspective illustrates how the presence of internal and external electric fields can
affect catalytic activity and selectivity, with a focus on heterogeneous catalysts. Specifically …

Electrodes chemically modified with molecular active sites are potent catalysts for energy
conversion reactions. Such electrodes are typically presumed to operate by the same redox …

Even though it is still an emerging field, the application of a high external electric field (EEF)
as a green and efficient catalyst in synthetic chemistry has recently received significant …
