The reaction takes place at a specialized metal center that dramatically increases the acidity
of H2 and leads to a heterolytic splitting of the molecule which is strongly accelerated by the …

Catalytic four-electron reduction of O2 to water is one of the most extensively studied
electrochemical reactions due to O2 exceptional availability and high O2/H2O redox …

Solar energy has a great potential as a clean, cheap, renewable and sustainable energy
source, but it must be captured and transformed into useful forms of energy as plants do. An …

CO poisoning of Pt-group metal catalysts is a long-standing problem, particularly for
hydrogen oxidation reaction in proton exchange membrane fuel cells. Here, we report a …

If the atmosphere of the early Earth was hydrogen-rich, 1 it is reasonable to think that
hydrogenases, the enzymes enabling cells to use molecular hydrogen, were probably …

The concept of a fuel cell dates back to 1839, from independent studies by Grove and
Schoenbein. 1, 2 Like a battery, a fuel cell is a device for obtaining electrical energy directly …

This review regards the use of dynamic electrochemistry to study the mechanism of redox
enzymes, with exclusive emphasis on the configuration where the protein is adsorbed onto …
