开发将太阳能转化为化学燃料的强大系统是可再生能源研究中的一个重要课题。关键方面是燃料生产(减少H2O或CO2)和水氧化的有效和快速催化。酶通常具有非凡而独特的电催化剂能力，从这个角度来看，我们考虑了这些分子通过将它们整合到太阳能燃料生产的模型系统中或作为合成催化剂的灵感而发挥的作用。
The development of robust systems for the conversion of solar energy into chemical fuels is an important subject in renewable energy research. Key aspects are efficient and rapid catalysis of both fuel production (reduction of H2O or CO2), and water oxidation. Enzymes often have extraordinary and unique capabilities as electrocatalysts, and in this Perspective we consider the role that these molecules can play through their incorporation into model systems for solar fuel production, or as inspiration for synthetic catalysts.
