Special Issue on Green Photoelectric Biocatalysis

Introduction

It is with great pleasure and anticipation that we introduce this special issue dedicated to Green Photoelectric Biocatalysis. Facing declining fossil reserves, global warming and energy crisis, photoelectric biocatalysis has been explored in various processes, from bioremediation, CO₂ and N₂ fixation to energy and chemicals production. This issue will focus on photoelectric reactions including oxidative, reductive, and combined oxidative reductive processes, highlighting the role of green photoelectric chemistry in shaping the future of catalysis for the advanced manufacturing of bioenergy, biofuels, bio-based materials, and bioproducts.
