Replacing fossil fuels with energy sources and carriers that are sustainable, environmentally
benign, and affordable is amongst the most pressing challenges for future socio-economic …

Because sunlight is the most abundant energy source on earth, it has huge potential for
practical applications ranging from sustainable energy supply to light driven chemistry. From …

The use of metal–ligand cooperation (MLC) by transition metal bifunctional catalysts has
emerged at the forefront of homogeneous catalysis science. Specially designed ligands can …

The synthesis of renewable fuels from abundant water or the greenhouse gas CO2 is a
major step toward creating sustainable and scalable energy storage technologies. In the last …

Carbon dioxide is one of the end products of combustion, and is not a benign component of
the atmosphere. The concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere has reached unprecedented …

Hydrogenase enzymes efficiently process H2 and protons at organometallic FeFe, NiFe, or
Fe active sites. Synthetic modeling of the many H2ase states has provided insight into …

The sustainable production of clean energy constitutes one of the most important scientific
challenges of the 21st century. Currently, the major part of the global energy supply is …

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 …

The odyssey of photochemistry is accompanied by the journey to manipulate “electrons” and
“protons” in time, in space, and in energy. Over the past decades, single-electron (1e–) …

Over the past few decades, researchers have established artificial enzymes as highly stable
and low-cost alternatives to natural enzymes in a wide range of applications. A variety of …
