Squeezing out the energy : Macroscopically reversible deformation of polymers in contact with water produces H 2 O 2 in quantities that are sufficient to drive small‐scale chemical syntheses. The amount of mechanosynthesized H 2 O 2 scales with the polymer–water interfacial area, and the efficiency of the mechanical‐to‐chemical energy transduction can be as high as 30 % for soft, porous polymer “sponges”.
