Bioinspired Concepts for Driving Multielectron Transfer

Photoelectrochemical approaches can convert greenhouse gases such as CO2 to value-added fuel that represents a viable solar energy storage pathway. Other multielectron processes such as solar water splitting and dioxygen reduction have implications for energy conversion. Bioinspiration represents a new materials design paradigm. Ideas on how we can learn from the intricate selfassembled architectures that Nature has evolved over millions of years will be discussed with specific examples.
