Summary:Microbial electrosynthesis is a sustainable strategy for electricity‐driven chemical production. In their Communication (e202305189), Guillermo C. Bazan et al. designed an n‐type redox‐active conjugated oligoelectrolyte (COE) that intercalates into cell membranes and mimics the function of endogenous transmembrane electron transport proteins. The incorporation of the COE into electroactive bacteria amplifies current uptake from the electrode, leading to enhanced microbial electrosynthesis.
