Inspired by the contribution of the protein scaffold to the efficiency with which enzymes function, we used outer coordination sphere features to develop a novel molecular electrocatalyst for the reversible production/oxidation ...

Hydrogen has emerged as a long-term option for storing energy from renewable resources and has led the scientific community to develop enzyme-inspired catalysts for hydrogen oxidation and production. One of the most ...

The most energy-efficient electrocatalysts mediate forward and reverse reactions at high rates with minimal overpotential requirements. Such electrocatalytic reversibility is commonly observed for redox enzymes and is an ...

Building on our recent report of an active H2 production catalyst [Ni(PPh2NProp–peptide)2]2+ (Prop = para-phenylpropionic acid, peptide (R10) = WIpPRWTGPR-NH2, p = D-proline and P2N = 1-aza-3,6-diphosphacycloheptane) that ...

Hydrogenase enzymes are reversible catalysts for H2 production/oxidation, operating with fast rates and minimal overpotentials in water. Many synthetic catalyst mimics of hydrogenase operate in organic solvents. However, ...
