Researchers improved organic electrosynthesis by controlling local pH near electrodes rather than only the bulk solution. A redesigned reactor increased target-product selectivity from ~16% to ~97% and boosted production rates while using oxygen and electricity instead of added peroxide oxidants. The approach could make synthesis of plastic and fine-chemical feedstocks safer and more efficient. https://pubs.acs.org/jacsat/article/148/37/40243/5421141/Local-pH-Control-Promotes-Oxygen-Atom-Transfer
