| Abstract | Enzymes are highly selective and efficient catalysts for a range of energy cycling reactions, including H2 production and oxidation and the interconversion of CO2 and CO. However, existing strategies for controlling enzyme catalysis electrochemically have not transferred well to device development, largely due to instability of the proteins themselves and of their attachment to electrode surfaces. We therefore bring together innovative ideas and expertise in each building block of this process, to create a step change in the development of robust biocatalytic systems for energy technologies | |
