Nature Communications, Published online: 06 May 2026; doi:10.1038/s41467-026-72802-0 Tandem electrosynthesis is challenging because sequential reaction steps often require incompatible chemical environments. Here, the authors report the creation of pH gradient via microenvironment engineering, enabling levulinic acid to γ-valerolactone conversion in a single electrolyzer.
