Application of Biocatalysts and Artificial Catalysts in Artificial Photosynthetic Assemblies

  • Conference paper
Photochemical Conversion and Storage of Solar Energy

Abstract

Biocatalysts, heterogeneous catalysts and homogeneous catalysts are applied as catalytic materials in artificial photosynthetic assemblies. Photoinduced CO2-fixation to formate proceeds in the presence of a Pd-colloid. A photogenerated hydrido-rhodium complex is applied for the regeneration of NAD(P)H cofactors and nicotinamide model compounds. Photogenerated artificial electron carriers are electrically communicated with redox enzymes.
