Abstract

(Chemical Equation Presented) Magnetic switch: The direction of bioelectrocatalytic currents and photocurrents is demonstrated to be reversibly switched by the attraction and retraction of hydrophobic magnetic nanoparticles to and from the electrode surface in a water/ toluene biphasic system (see picture; Fc = decamethylferrocene; MP = microperoxidase-11; GOx = glucose oxidase).
