Phtoelectrochemical cells are those electrochemical cells, which work upon illumination. They are widely studied for conversion of solar energy to chemical energy. They work under mild conditions. But what if this is used to synthesis of organic molecules of great pharmaceutical importance???

Here's what scientists from Laboratory of Inorganic Synthesis and Catalysis, Laboratory of Photonics and Interfaces, Institute of Chemical Sciences and Engineering, École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL),  ISIC-LSCI, Lausanne, Switzerland & Institute of Photoelectronic Thin Film Devices and Technology, College of Electronic Information and  Optical Engineering, Nankai University, Tianjin, China have come up with : a novel method for effecient synthesis of Organic molecules!
