text: The phenomenon of bipolar electrochemistry is known since the 1970s and is used in industry in some electrolytic reactors. The interest of the scientific community for this concept seems to increase a lot since Martin Fleischmann and co-workers demonstrated that water splitting was possible using micrometer-sized bipolar electrodes. Recently, several applications in such domains as synthesis of dissymmetrical micro- and nano-structures analytical chemistry material science, microelectronics  and microobject propulsion have been developed.
