研究目的
To review recent advances in photoelectrochemical platforms for solar-driven biotransformation, focusing on the transfer of photoexcited electrons to redox enzymes for efficient and sustainable biocatalysis.
研究成果
Biocatalytic PEC platforms integrate biocatalysis and photoelectrocatalysis for sustainable redox biotransformations. Future work should focus on enhancing charge and mass transfer kinetics, designing protective layers for electrodes, modifying enzymes for better surface accessibility, and developing heterostructured photoelectrodes to improve solar-to-chemical conversion efficiency.
研究不足
The review discusses limitations of current PEC platforms, including lower regeneration efficiency compared to enzymatic methods, issues with electrode robustness, interfacial electron transfer barriers due to buried enzyme active sites, and the need for improved scalability and sustainability.
