Special Issue on Green Photoelectric Biocatalysis
Published 20 March, 2025
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 intensively explored in various processes, from bioremediation, CO2 and N2 fixation to energy and chemicals production. Here, we delve deep into 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.
