The potential for direct ethanol fuel cells (DEFCs) to provide sustainable, widely accessible power has driven development of electrocatalysts for the ethanol oxidation reaction (EOR) over several decades. However, low power output, low efficiencies, and the production of acetic acid and acetaldehyde byproducts has caused progress to stall. Consequently, interest in this area is transitioning to electrolysis of ethanol to produce green hydrogen and commodity chemicals. Concurrently, applications of DEFC as breath alcohol sensors in breathalyzers are increasing, and this has become an established commercial market for EOR catalysts. Progress in the development of these technologies has been hampered by the limited number of catalysts that have been evaluated in proton exchange membrane cells, the paucity of data on product distributions, and limited gas-phase-sensing studies.

几十年来,直接乙醇燃料电池(DEFCs)提供可持续、广泛使用的电力的潜力推动了乙醇氧化反应(EOR)电催化剂的发展。然而,低功率输出、低效率以及乙酸和乙醛副产物的产生等问题导致研究进展停滞不前。因此,人们对这一领域的兴趣正在转向电解乙醇,以生产绿色氢气和商品化学品。与此同时,DEFC 作为呼气酒精传感器在呼气分析仪中的应用也在不断增加,这已成为 EOR 催化剂的一个成熟的商业市场。在质子交换膜电池中进行评估的催化剂数量有限,有关产品分布的数据匮乏,气相传感研究有限,这些都阻碍了这些技术的发展。

Although alkaline water electrolysis (AWE) is a highly mature technology for hydrogen production, its potential is hindered by relatively low efficiencies at high current densities. On the other hand, to conform with “RePowerEU” directives, coupling electrolyzers with new renewable energy sources (RES) is highly demanded. However, integrating fluctuating RES poses challenges for the AWE due to increasing gas impurity as the current density decreases. Herein, we revised the most promising recent developments in materials, cell design, and system integration aimed at conquering the aforementioned challenges. It is shown that the implementation of advanced components and control strategies, e.g. electrolyte management, is vital to enhance the efficiency at high current densities and expand the load range of operation by maintaining the high gas purity.

尽管碱性水电解法(AWE)是一项非常成熟的制氢技术,但其潜力却因高电流密度下相对较低的效率而受到阻碍。另一方面,为了符合 "RePowerEU "指令,将电解槽与新的可再生能源(RES)结合起来的要求很高。然而,由于气体杂质会随着电流密度的降低而增加,整合波动的可再生能源给 AWE 带来了挑战。在此,我们对材料、电池设计和系统集成方面最有前景的最新发展进行了修订,旨在克服上述挑战。研究表明,实施先进的组件和控制策略(如电解质管理)对于提高高电流密度下的效率以及通过保持高气体纯度来扩大运行负载范围至关重要。

Electron transfer (ET) and proton transfer (PT) events are involved in most of the biochemical processes in biology, such as within the aerobic respiration system and photosynthesis. Whereas most of the ET and PT reactions in biology are short-range on the (sub-)nanometer scale, several biological systems are capable of long-range ET or PT on the hundreds of nanometers to micrometers. This perspective summarizes which biological or bioinspired systems are capable of long-range ET or PT, which suggested mechanisms might explain long-range ET or PT together with the needed molecular basis within the biological material to allow this transport for very long distances. The fundamental difference between long-range ET and PT is discussed as well as design guidelines for new electron- or proton-conductive biological materials.

电子转移(ET)和质子转移(PT)事件参与了生物界的大多数生化过程,例如有氧呼吸系统和光合作用。虽然生物学中的大多数 ET 和 PT 反应都是(亚)纳米尺度的短程反应,但有几个生物系统能够进行数百纳米到微米的长程 ET 或 PT 反应。本视角总结了哪些生物或生物启发系统能够进行长程 ET 或 PT 反应,提出了哪些机制可以解释长程 ET 或 PT 反应,以及生物材料中允许这种长程传输所需的分子基础。本文讨论了长程电子传输和长程质子传输之间的根本区别,以及新型电子或质子传导生物材料的设计指南。

Natural electron-conducting circuits play essential roles in respiration and photosynthesis and are therefore of fundamental importance to all life on earth. These circuits are composed of redox-active cofactors housed within proteins, or multi-subunit protein complexes, facilitating the conduction of electrons in support of transmembrane proton pumping, redox catalysis and the extracellular delivery of electrons to terminal electron acceptors. Though the natural electron-conducting circuitry can be complex, it is possible to recapitulate selected, desirable functions within minimalist de novo-designed proteins. Here we highlight recent advances in the de novo design of redox proteins and enzymes that illustrate the progress and potential of this approach, providing insight into the workings and engineering of their natural counterparts, while creating a readily adaptable and robust set of components for future bioelectronic engineering.

天然电子传导回路在呼吸作用和光合作用中发挥着至关重要的作用,因此对地球上的所有生命都至关重要。这些回路由蛋白质或多亚基蛋白质复合物中具有氧化还原作用的辅助因子组成,可促进电子传导,支持跨膜质子泵、氧化还原催化和细胞外向终端电子受体输送电子。虽然自然界的电子传导电路可能很复杂,但我们仍有可能在从头设计的极简蛋白质中重现选定的理想功能。在这里,我们将重点介绍从头设计氧化还原蛋白和酶的最新进展,这些进展说明了这种方法的进步和潜力,让人们深入了解其天然对应物的工作原理和工程学,同时为未来的生物电子工程创造一套易于适应且稳健的组件。

Self-management of health and disease control using implantable biosensors is presently evolving strongly. Implantable biosensors require high selectivity and sensitivity, robust stability, temporal resolution, and device miniaturization. Electrochemical enzymatic biosensors that utilize specifically selective enzymes to convert the concentration of biomarker metabolites into electrochemical signals hold great promise to meet these criteria. As for electrochemical enzyme biosensors in continuous glucose monitoring, which have enjoyed great commercial success, amperometric biosensors have so far dominated enzymatic biosensor research and development. Potentiometric enzymatic biosensor research is, however, emerging with increasing strength, in particular due to greater promise for miniaturization. This minireview focuses on how to empower potentiometric enzymatic biosensors with high temporal resolution for continuous in situ monitoring of metabolites using the innovative non-equilibrium approach.

Electrochemical interfaces are central to the function and performance of energy storage devices. Thus, the development of new methods to characterize these interfaces, in conjunction with electrochemical performance, is essential for bridging the existing knowledge gaps and accelerating the development of energy storage technologies. Of particular need is the ability to characterize surfaces or interfaces in a non-destructive way with adequate resolution to discern individual structural and chemical building blocks. To this end, sub-diffraction-limit low-energy infrared optical probes that exploit near-field interactions within atomic force microscopy platforms, such as pseudoheterodyne nanoimaging, photothermal nanoimaging and nanospectroscopy, and nanoscale Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, are all powerful emerging techniques. These are capable of non-destructive surface probing and imaging at nanometer resolution. This review outlines recent efforts to characterize ex situ,in situ,andoperando electrode materials and electrochemical interfaces in rechargeable batteries with these advanced infrared near-field probes.

电化学界面对储能设备的功能和性能至关重要。因此,结合电化学性能开发表征这些界面的新方法,对于弥补现有知识差距和加快储能技术的发展至关重要。特别需要的是能够以非破坏性的方式表征表面或界面,并具有足够的分辨率来辨别单个结构和化学构件。为此,在原子力显微镜平台内利用近场相互作用的亚衍射极限低能红外光学探针,如伪外差纳米成像、光热纳米成像和纳米光谱以及纳米级傅立叶变换红外光谱,都是强大的新兴技术。这些技术能够以纳米分辨率进行非破坏性的表面探测和成像。本综述概述了利用这些先进的红外近场探针对充电电池中的原位、原位和过电流电极材料及电化学界面进行表征的最新研究成果。

Electrochemistry of flavin-based electron bifurcation: ‘Current’ past and ‘potential’ futures 基于黄素的电子分叉电化学:"当前 "的过去和 "潜在 "的未来

Flavin-based electron bifurcation (FBEB) was discovered as a significant process of microbial energy conservation less than two decades ago. Since then, several classes of enzymes engaging in FBEB have been identified, all of which utilize a flavin cofactor that accepts two electrons and then transfers one along an exergonic (high-potential) pathway and the other along an endergonic (low-potential) pathway. We describe the critical role of electrochemical techniques, especially protein-film voltammetry and spectroelectrochemistry, in determining the mechanism and energetic landscape of FBEB in a characteristic enzyme. A prospectus of future directions involving currently unutilized electrochemical techniques is discussed with regards to the salient open questions in the field of FBEB.

不到二十年前,人们发现黄素电子分叉(FBEB)是微生物能量守恒的一个重要过程。从那时起,参与 FBEB 的几类酶已被确定,它们都利用黄素辅助因子接受两个电子,然后将其中一个电子沿着外能(高电位)途径转移,另一个电子沿着内能(低电位)途径转移。我们介绍了电化学技术,尤其是蛋白膜伏安法和光谱电化学技术在确定特征酶中 FBEB 的机制和能量分布方面的关键作用。针对 FBEB 领域的突出开放性问题,我们讨论了涉及目前尚未使用的电化学技术的未来发展方向。

Aqueous zinc-ion Batteries (ZIBs) using metallic Zn anode exhibit significant potential for grid-scale stationary energy storage. However, Zn dendrite growth, associated with various side reactions, constrains the reversibility of Zn deposition/dissolution, severely hindering the practical deployment of ZIBs. Electrolyte, also known as the “blood” of the batteries, has been a hot research topic because its specific formulation is decisive to the reversibility of Zn anode. In view of the rapid progresses in this area, in this review, we provide a concise overview of recent advances in electrolyte engineering for Zn stabilization. In contrast to previous reviews focusing on electrolyte composition or effects, we summarize and discuss the impact of electrolyte on the four key stages of Zn deposition from an electrochemical perspective. It is anticipated to give some enlightening clues to the deep understanding of the underlying mechanisms of electrolyte-mediated Zn chemistry.

使用金属锌阳极的锌离子水电池(ZIB)在电网规模的固定储能方面具有巨大潜力。然而,与各种副反应相关的锌枝晶生长限制了锌沉积/溶解的可逆性,严重阻碍了锌离子电池的实际应用。电解液也被称为电池的 "血液",一直是热门研究课题,因为其具体配方对锌阳极的可逆性起着决定性作用。鉴于这一领域的快速发展,我们在本综述中简要概述了用于稳定锌的电解质工程的最新进展。与以往侧重于电解质成分或影响的综述不同,我们从电化学角度总结并讨论了电解质对锌沉积四个关键阶段的影响。预计这将为深入理解电解质介导的锌化学的内在机制提供一些启发性线索。
