Beyond Natural Synthesis via Solar-Decoupled Biohybrid Photosynthetic System

Beyond Natural Synthesis via Solar-Decoupled Biohybrid Photosynthetic System

Academic Background Photosynthetic microorganisms can directly convert carbon dioxide (CO₂) into high value-added long-chain chemicals by converting solar energy into chemical energy, providing a promising route for CO₂ sequestration and sustainable development. However, the key reducing power generated in photosynthetic reactions—nicotinamide aden...

Borohydride Oxidation-Water Reduction Fuel Cells Advanced by Local Hydroxyl Enrichment-Inhibited Borohydride Hydrolysis on Cu(0) Sites

Academic Background Direct Borohydride Fuel Cells (DBFCs), as a potential carbon-neutral energy source, have attracted considerable attention due to their use of sodium borohydride (NaBH4) as the anode fuel. NaBH4 possesses advantages such as portability, non-toxicity, water solubility, and environmental stability, allowing DBFCs in theory to deliv...
