Recent research endeavors have established that the mechanochemical activation of piezoelectric materials can open new avenues in redox chemistry. The application of mechanical force to a material can lead to the generation of electric charge; piezoelectricity. For the first time, this effect has been harnessed and applied to radical reactions under ball‐milling conditions. For more information, see the Concept article by J. A. Leitch and D. L. Browne on page 9721.
