Bioelectrocatalysis is an interdisciplinary research field combining biocatalysis and
electrocatalysis via the utilization of materials derived from biological systems as catalysts to …

While hydrogen plays an ever-increasing role in modern society, nature has utilized
hydrogen since a very long time as an energy carrier and storage molecule. Among the …

There is a growing interest in the conversion of water and solar energy into clean and
renewable H2 fuels using earth-abundant materials due to the depletion of fossil fuel and its …

1. INTRODUCTION AND OVERVIEW The transfer and transport of electrons through
biological matter is one of the key steps underlying cellular energy harvesting, storage, and …

Oxygenic photosynthesis is the primary solar energy-conversion process that supports much
of life on Earth. It is initiated by photosystem II (PSII), an enzyme that extracts electrons from …

Hydrogenases are nature's efficient catalysts for both the generation of energy via oxidation
of molecular hydrogen and the production of hydrogen via the reduction of protons …

Hydrogenases are redox enzymes that catalyze the conversion of protons and molecular
hydrogen (H2). Based on the composition of the active site cofactor, the monometallic [Fe] …

[FeFe]-hydrogenases are nature's fastest catalysts for the evolution or oxidation of hydrogen.
Numerous synthetic model complexes for the [2Fe] subcluster (2FeH) of their active site are …

The [FeFe]-hydrogenase catalytic site H cluster is a complex iron sulfur cofactor that is
sensitive to oxygen (O2). The O2 sensitivity is a significant barrier for production of hydrogen …

FeFe hydrogenases are the most efficient H2-producing enzymes. However, inactivation by
O2 remains an obstacle that prevents them being used in many biotechnological devices …
