Abstract
Systems integrating quantum dots with molecular catalysts are attracting ever more attention, primarily owing to their tunability and notable photocatalytic activity in the context of the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR). CuInS2 (CIS) quantum dots (QDs) are effective photoreductants, having relatively high-energy conduction bands, but their electronic structure and defect states often lead to poor performance, prompting many researchers to employ them with a core-shell structure. Molecular cobalt HER catalysts, on the other hand, often suffer from poor stability. Here, we have combined CIS QDs, surface-passivated with l-cysteine and iodide from a water-based synthesis, with two tetraazamacrocyclic cobalt complexes to realize systems which demonstrate high turnover numbers for the HER (up to >8000 per catalyst), using ascorbate as the sacrificial electron donor at pH = 4.5. Photoluminescence intensity and lifetime quenching data indicated a large degree of binding of the catalysts to the QDs, even with only ca. 1 μM each of QDs and catalysts, linked to an entirely static quenching mechanism. The data was fitted with a Poissonian distribution of catalyst molecules over the QDs, from which the concentration of QDs could be evaluated. No important difference in either quenching or photocatalysis was observed between catalysts with and without the carboxylate as a potential anchoring group. Femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy confirmed ultrafast interfacial electron transfer from the QDs and the formation of the singly reduced catalyst (CoII state) for both complexes, with an average electron transfer rate constant of ≈ (10 ps)-1. These favorable results confirm that the core tetraazamacrocyclic cobalt complex is remarkably stable under photocatalytic conditions and that CIS QDs without inorganic shell structures for passivation can act as effective photosensitizers, while their smaller size makes them suitable for application in the sensitization of, inter alia, mesoporous electrodes.

Abstract
Photoelectrochemical cells (PEC) are appealing devices for the production of renewable energy carriers. In this context, III-V semiconductors such as GaAs are very promising materials due to their tunable band gaps, which can be appropriately adjusted for sunlight harvesting. Because of the high cost of these semiconductors, the nanostructuring of the photoactive layer can help to improve the device efficiency as well as drastically reduce the amount of material needed. III-V nanowire-based photoelectrodes benefit from the intrinsically high aspect ratio of nanowires, their enhanced ability to trap light, and their improved charge separation and collection abilities and thus are particularly attractive for PECs. However, III-V semiconductors often suffer from corrosion in aqueous electrolytes, preventing their utilization over long periods under relevant working conditions. Here, photocathodes of GaAs nanowires protected with thin TiO2 shells were prepared and studied under simulated sunlight irradiation to assess their photoelectrochemical performances in correlation with their structural degradation, highlighting the advantageous nanowire geometry compared to its thin-film counterpart. Morphological and electronic parameters, such as the aspect ratio of the nanowires and their doping pattern, were found to strongly influence the photocatalytic performances of the system. This work highlights the advantageous combination of nanowires featuring a buried radial p-n junction with Co nanoparticles used as a hydrogen evolution catalyst. The nanostructured photocathodes exhibit significant photocatalytic activities comparable with previous noble-metal-based systems. This study demonstrates the potential of a GaAs nanostructured semiconductor and its reliable use for photodriven hydrogen production.

Abstract
Integration of molecular catalysts inside polymeric scaffolds has gained substantial attention over the past decade, as it provides a path towards generating systems with enhanced stability as well as enzyme-like morphologies and properties. In the context of solar fuels research and chemical energy conversion, this approach has been found to improve both rates and energy efficiencies of a range of catalytic reactions. However, system performance still needs to be improved to reach technologically relevant currents and stability, parameters that are heavily influenced by the nature of the incorporated molecular catalyst. Here, we have focused on the integration of a biomimetic {Fe2(μ-adt)(CO)6} (-CH2NHCH2S-, azadithiolate or adt2-) based active site ("[2Fe2S]adt"), inspired by the catalytic cofactor of [FeFe] hydrogenases, within a synthetic polymeric scaffold using free radical polymerization. The resulting metallopolymers [2Fe2S]adtk[DMAEMA]l[PyBMA]m (DMAEMA = dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate as water soluble monomer; PyBMA = 4-(pyren-1-yl)-butyl methacrylate as hydrophobic anchor for heterogenization) were found to be active for electrochemical H2 production in neutral aqueous media. The pyrene content was varied to optimize durability and activity. Following immobilization on multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNT) the most active metallopolymer, containing ∼2.3 mol% of PyBMA, could reach a turnover number for hydrogen production (TONH2) of ∼0.4 ×105 over 20 hours of electrolysis at an overpotential of 0.49 V, two orders of magnitude higher than the isolated catalyst counterpart. The study provides a synthetic methodology for incorporating catalytic units featuring second coordination sphere functional groups, and highlights the benefit of the confinement within the polymer matrix for catalytic performance.

Abstract
Nickel bisdiphosphine complexes bearing pendant amines form a unique series of catalysts (so-called DuBois' catalysts) capable of bidirectional/reversible electrocatalytic oxidation and production of dihydrogen. This unique behaviour is directly linked to the presence of proton relays installed close to the metal center. We report here for the arginine derivative [Ni(P2 Cy N2 Arg )2 ]6+ on a mechanistic model and its kinetic treatment that may apply to all DuBois' catalysts and show that it allows for a good fit of experimental data measured at different pH values, catalyst concentrations and partial hydrogen pressures. The bidirectionality of catalysis results from balanced equilibria related to hydrogen uptake/evolution on one side and (metal)-hydride installation/capture on the other side, both controlled by concentration effects resulting from the presence of proton relays and connected by two square schemes corresponding to proton-coupled electron transfer processes. We show that the catalytic bias is controlled by the kinetic of the H2 uptake/evolution step. Reversibility does not require that the energy landscape be flat, with redox transitions occurring at potentials up to 250 mV away for the equilibrium potential, although such large deviations from a flat energy landscape can negatively impacts the rate of catalysis when coupled with slow interfacial electron transfer kinetics.

Abstract
Cobalt(ii) complexes featuring hexadentate amino-pyridyl ligands have been recently discovered as highly active catalysts for the Hydrogen Evolution Reaction (HER), whose high performance arises from the possibility of assisting proton transfer processes via intramolecular routes involving detached pyridine units. With the aim of gaining insights into such catalytic routes, three new proton reduction catalysts based on amino-polypyridyl ligands are reported, focusing on substitution of the pyridine ortho-position. Specifically, a carboxylate (C2) and two hydroxyl substituted pyridyl moieties (C3, C4) are introduced with the aim of promoting intramolecular proton transfer which possibly enhances the efficiency of the catalysts. Foot-of-the-wave and catalytic Tafel plot analyses have been utilized to benchmark the catalytic performances under electrochemical conditions in acetonitrile using trifluoroacetic acid as the proton source. In this respect, the cobalt complex C3 turns out to be the fastest catalyst in the series, with a maximum turnover frequency (TOF) of 1.6 (±0.5) × 105 s-1, but at the expense of large overpotentials. Mechanistic investigations by means of Density Functional Theory (DFT) suggest a typical ECEC mechanism (i.e. a sequence of reduction - E - and protonation - C - events) for all the catalysts, as previously envisioned for the parent unsubstituted complex C1. Interestingly, in the case of complex C2, the catalytic route is triggered by initial protonation of the carboxylate group resulting in a less common (C)ECEC mechanism. The pivotal role of the hexadentate chelating ligand in providing internal proton relays to assist hydrogen elimination is further confirmed within this novel class of molecular catalysts, thus highlighting the relevance of a flexible polypyridine ligand in the design of efficient cobalt complexes for the HER. Photochemical studies in aqueous solution using [Ru(bpy)3]2+ (where bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine) as the sensitizer and ascorbate as the sacrificial electron donor support the superior performance of C3.

Abstract
Clean energy vectors are needed towards a fossil fuel-free society, diminishing both greenhouse effect and pollution. Electrochemical water splitting is a clean route to obtain green hydrogen, the cleanest fuel; although efficient electrocatalysts are required to avoid high overpotentials in this process. The combination of inorganic semiconductors with biocatalysts for photoelectrochemical H2 production is an alternative approach to overcome this challenge. N-type semiconductors can be coupled to a co-catalyst for H2 production in the presence of a sacrificial electron donor in solution, but the replacement of the latter with an electrode is a challenge. In this work we attach a NiFeSe-hydrogenase with high activity for H2 production with the n-type semiconductor indium sulfide, which upon visible irradiation is able to transfer its excited electrons to the enzyme. In order to enhance the transfer of the generated holes towards the electrode for their replenishment, we have explored the inclusion of a p-type material, NiO, to induce a p-n junction for H2 production in a photoelectrochemical biocatalytic system in absence of sacrificial reagents.

Abstract
Surface integration of molecular catalysts inspired from the active sites of hydrogenase enzymes represents a promising route towards developing noble metal-free and sustainable technologies for H2 production. Efficient and stable catalyst anchoring is a key aspect to enable this approach. Herein, we report the preparation and electrochemical characterization of an original diironhexacarbonyl complex including two pyrene groups per catalytic unit in order to allow for its smooth integration, through π-interactions, onto multiwalled carbon nanotube-based electrodes. In this configuration, the grafted catalyst could reach turnover numbers for H2 production (TONH2 ) of up to 4±2×103 within 20 h of bulk electrolysis, operating at neutral pH. Post operando analysis of catalyst functionalized electrodes revealed the degradation of the catalytic unit occurred via loss of the iron carbonyl units, while the anchoring groups and most part of the ligand remained attached onto multiwalled carbon nanotubes.

Abstract
In this work, we report the design and the preparation of two new dyes and a molecular dyad for the photoelectrochemical hydrogen production from water in a dye-sensitized photoelectrochemical cell (DSPEC). We designed dyes that include a benzothiadiazole (BTD) and an indacenodithiophene (IDT) units, and we obtained a new molecular dyad by covalent coupling with the cobalt diimine-dioxime catalyst. The introduction of the benzothiadiazole core in the structure improves the absorption properties and leads to an extension of the spectrum in the visible range up to 650 nm. The photoelectrochemical properties of the new dyad were evaluated on pristine and lithium-doped NiO electrodes. We demonstrate that increasing the light harvesting efficiency of the dyad by introducing a IDT-BTD chromophore is clearly beneficial for the photoelectrochemical activity. We also demonstrate that lithium doping of NiO, which improves the electronic conductivity of the mesoporous film, leads to a significant increase in performance, in terms of TON and F.E., more than doubled with our new dyad. This BTD-based molecular system outperforms the results of previously reported dyads using the same catalyst.

Abstract
Solar hydrogen generation via water splitting using a monolithic photoelectrochemical cell, also called artificial leaf, could be a powerful technology to accelerate the transition from fossil to sustainable energy sources. Identification of scalable methods for the fabrication of monolithic devices and gaining insights into their operating mode to identify solutions to improve performance and stability represent great challenges. Herein, we report on the one-step fabrication of a CoWO|ITO|3jn-a-Si|Steel|CoWS monolithic device via the simple photoinduced deposition of CoWO and CoWS as oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) catalyst layers, respectively, onto an illuminated ITO|3jn-a-Si|Steel solar cell using a single-deposition bath containing the [Co(WS4)2]2- complex. In a pH 7 phosphate buffer solution, the best device achieved a solar-to-hydrogen conversion yield of 1.9%. Evolution of the catalyst layers and that of the 3jn-a-Si light-harvesting core during the operation of the monolithic device are examined by conventional tools such as scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), and inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES) together with a bipotentiostat measurement. We demonstrate that the device performance degrades due to the partial dissolution of the catalyst. Still, this degradation is healable by simply adding [Co(WS4)2]2- to the operating solution. However, modifications on the protecting indium-doped tin oxide (ITO) layer are shown to initiate irreversible degradation of the 3jn-a-Si light-harvesting core, resulting in a 10-fold decrease of the performances of the monolithic device.

Abstract
The covalent assembly between a cobalt diimine-dioxime complex and a fullerenic moiety results in enhanced catalytic properties in terms of overpotential requirement for H2 evolution. The interaction between the fullerene moiety and PCBM heterojunction further allows for the easy integration of the cobalt diimine-dioxime – fullerene catalyst with a poly-3-hexylthiophene (P3HT):[6,6]-phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) bulk heterojunction, yielding hybrid photoelectrodes for H2 evolution from near-neutral aqueous solutions. The covalent assembly between a cobalt diimine-dioxime complex and a fullerenic moiety results in enhanced catalytic properties in terms of overpotential requirement for H2 evolution and allows its integration in an operating photocathode.![]()

Abstract
Herein, a new heterobimetallic CoFe complex is reported with the aim of comparing its performance in terms of H2 production within a series of related MFe complexes (M = Ni, Fe). The fully oxidized [(LN2S2)CoII(CO)FeIICp]+ complex (CoIIFeII, LN2S2 2- = 2,2'-(2,2'-bipyridine-6,6'-diyl)bis(1,1'-diphenylethanethiolate), Cp- = cyclopentadienyl anion) can be (electro)chemically reduced to its CoIFeII form, and both complexes have been isolated and fully characterized by means of classic spectroscopic techniques and theoretical calculations. The redox properties of CoIIFeII have been investigated in DMF, revealing that this complex is the easiest to reduce by one-electron among the analogous MFe complexes (M = Ni, Fe, Co). Nevertheless, it displays no electrocatalytic activity for H2 production, contrary to the FeFe and NiFe analogs, which have proven remarkable performance.

Abstract
The cobalt tetraazamacrocyclic [Co(N4H)Cl2]+ complex is becoming a popular and versatile catalyst for the electrocatalytic evolution of hydrogen, because of its stability and superior activity in aqueous conditions. We present here a benchmarking of its performances based on the thorough analysis of cyclic voltammograms recorded under various catalytic regimes in non-aqueous conditions allowing control of the proton concentration. This allowed a detailed mechanism to be proposed with quantitative determination of the rate-constants for the various protonation steps, as well as identification of the amine function of the tetraazamacrocyclic ligand to act as a proton relay during H2 evolution.

Abstract
Molecular catalysts show powerful catalytic efficiency and unsurpassed selectivity in many reactions of interest. As their implementation in electrocatalytic devices requires their immobilization onto a conductive support, controlling the grafting chemistry and its impact on their distribution at the surface of this support within the catalytic layer is key to enhancing and stabilizing the current they produce. This study focuses on molecular bioinspired nickel catalysts for hydrogen oxidation, bound to carbon nanotubes, a conductive support with high specific area. We couple advanced analysis by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), for direct imaging of the catalyst layer on individual nanotubes, and small angle neutron scattering (SANS), for indirect observation of structural features in a relevant aqueous medium. Low-dose TEM imaging shows a homogeneous, mobile coverage of catalysts, likely as a monolayer coating the nanotubes, while SANS unveils a regular nanostructure in the catalyst distribution on the surface with agglomerates that could be imaged by TEM upon aging. Together, electrochemistry, TEM and SANS analyses allowed drawing an unprecedented and intriguing picture with molecular catalysts evenly distributed at the nanoscale in two different populations required for optimal catalytic performance. How do efficient hydrogen-oxidation molecular electrocatalysts connect onto their carbon nanotube conductive support? A coupled neutron scattering SANS and STEM electron microscopy study to observe soft active matter organizing on 3D nanosurfaces.![]()

Abstract
Integration of efficient platinum-group-metal (PGM)-free catalysts to fuel cells and electrolyzers is a prerequisite to their large-scale deployment. Here, we describe the development of a molecular-based anode for the hydrogen oxidation reaction (HOR) through noncovalent integration of a DuBois type Ni bioinspired molecular catalyst at the surface of a carbon nanotube modified gas diffusion layer. This mild immobilization strategy enabled us to gain high control over the loading in catalytic sites. Additionally, through the adjustment of the hydration level of the active layer, a new record current density of 214 ± 20 mA cm-2 could be reached at 0.4 V vs RHE with the PGM-free anode, at 25 °C. Near industrially relevant current densities were obtained at 55 °C with 150 ± 20 and 395 ± 30 mA cm-2 at 0.1 and 0.4 V overpotentials, respectively. These results further demonstrate the relevance of such molecular approaches for the development of electrocatalytic platforms for energy conversion.

Abstract
The production of hydrogen by efficient, low-cost, and integrated photoelectrochemical water splitting processes represents an important target for the ecological transition. This challenge can be addressed thanks to bioinspired chemistry and artificial photosynthesis approaches by designing dye-sensitized photocathodes for hydrogen production, incorporating bioinspired first-row transition metal-based catalysts. The present work describes the preparation and photoelectrochemical characterization of a NiO photocathode sensitized with a phosphonate-derivatized ruthenium tris-diimine photosensitizer covalently linked to a cobalt diimine dioxime hydrogen-evolving catalyst. Under simulated AM 1.5G irradiation, hydrogen is produced with photocurrent densities reaching 84 ± 7 μA·cm-2, which is among the highest values reported so far for dye-sensitized photocathodes with surface-immobilized catalysts. Thanks to the unique combination of advanced spectroscopy and surface characterization techniques, the fast desorption of the dyad from the NiO electrode and the low yield of electron transfer to the catalyst, resulting in the Co demetallation from the diimine dioxime framework, were identified as the main barriers limiting the performances and the stability of the system. This work therefore paves the way for a more rational design of molecular photocathodes for solar fuel production and represents a further step toward the development of sustainable processes for the production of hydrogen from sunlight and water.

Abstract
We demonstrate that the insertion of the dinuclear active site of [FeFe] hydrogenase into the apo-enzyme can occur when the enzyme is embedded in a film of redox polymer, under conditions of mediated electron transfer. The maturation can be monitored by electrochemistry, and is as fast as under conditions of direct electron transfer. This new approach further clears the way to the implementation of hydrogenases in large scale real life processes.

Abstract
Ammonia (NH3) is a major feedstock of the chemical industry. The imperious need to decarbonize its production has stimulated a quest for efficient catalysts able to drive the direct electro-reduction of dinitrogen (N2) into NH3. A large number of materials have now been proposed for this reaction, including bioinspired molybdenum sulfide derivatives. Here, we revisit the potential of amorphous molybdenum sulfide to drive the electrocatalytic reduction of N2 and other substrates of nitrogenase. We find that this material exhibits negligible activity towards N2 but achieves efficient reduction of inorganic azides.

Abstract
Efficient heterogeneous catalysis of hydrogen oxidation reaction (HOR) by platinum group metal (PGM)-free catalysts in proton-exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells represents a significant challenge toward the development of a sustainable hydrogen economy. Here, we show that graphene acid (GA) can be used as an electrode scaffold for the noncovalent immobilization of a bioinspired nickel bis-diphosphine HOR catalyst. The highly functionalized structure of this material and optimization of the electrode-catalyst assembly sets new benchmark electrocatalytic performances for heterogeneous molecular HOR, with current densities above 30 mA cm-2 at 0.4 V versus reversible hydrogen electrode in acidic aqueous conditions and at room temperature. This study also shows the great potential of GA for catalyst loading improvement and porosity management within nanostructured electrodes toward achieving high current densities with a noble-metal free molecular catalyst.

Abstract
A trinuclear nickel complex with S-based ligands is reported as a bio-inspired model of the [NiFe] hydrogenases' active site. DFT calculations indicate that thiolate and thioether functions are involved as proton relays in the H2 evolution mechanism.

Abstract
[Co(bapbpy)Cl]+ (bapbpy: 6,6'-bis(2-aminopyridyl)-2,2'-bipyridine) is a polypyridyl cobalt(II) complex bearing both a redox-active bipyridine ligand and pendant proton relays. This compound catalyzes electro-assisted H2 evolution in DMF with distinct mechanisms depending on the strength of the acid used as the proton source (pKa values ranging from 3.4 to 13.5 in DMF) and the applied potential. Electrochemical studies combining cyclic voltammetry and bulk electrolysis measurements enabled one to bring out four distinct catalytic processes. Where applicable, relevant kinetic information were obtained using either foot-of-the-wave analysis (FOWA) or analytical treatment of bulk electrolysis experiments. Among the different catalytic pathways identified in this study, a clear relationship between the catalyst performances and stability was evidenced. These results draw attention to a number of interesting considerations and may help in the development of future adequately designed catalysts.

Abstract
Hybrid systems combining molecular catalysts with inorganic materials is a promising solution towards cheap yet efficient and stable photoelectrochemical hydrogen production.
Hydrogen production through direct sunlight-driven water splitting in photo-electrochemical cells (PECs) is a promising solution for energy sourcing. PECs need to fulfill three criteria: sustainability, cost-effectiveness and stability. Here we report an efficient and stable photocathode platform for H2 evolution based on Earth-abundant elements. A p-type silicon surface was protected by atomic layer deposition (ALD) with a 15 nm TiO2 layer, on top of which a 300 nm mesoporous TiO2 layer was spin-coated. The cobalt diimine–dioxime molecular catalyst was covalently grafted onto TiO2 through phosphonate anchors and an additional 0.2 nm ALD-TiO2 layer was applied for stabilization. This assembly catalyzes water reduction into H2 in phosphate buffer (pH 7) with an onset potential of +0.47 V vs. RHE. The resulting current density is –1.3 ± 0.1 mA cm–2 at 0 V vs. RHE under AM 1.5 solar irradiation, corresponding to a turnover number of 260 per hour of operation and a turnover frequency of 0.071 s–1.

Abstract
Various oxidation states of the catalytically active cobalt center in a covalent dyad were electrochemically prepared and the light-induced excited-state processes were studied. Virtually identical deactivation processes are observed, irrespective of the oxidation state of the cobalt center, varying from CoIII to CoI, indicating the absence of oxidative quenching within the dye-catalyst assembly.

Abstract
Co-grafting of a cobalt diimine–dioxime catalyst and push–pull organic dye on NiO yields a photocathode evolving hydrogen from aqueous solution under sunlight, with equivalent performances compared to a dyad-based architecture using similar components.
Dye-sensitized photo-electrochemical cells (DS-PECs) form an emerging technology for the large-scale storage of solar energy in the form of (solar) fuels because of the low cost and ease of processing of their constitutive photoelectrode materials. Preparing such molecular photocathodes requires a well-controlled co-immobilization of molecular dyes and catalysts onto transparent semiconducting materials. Here we used a series of surface analysis techniques to describe the molecular assembly of a push–pull organic dye and a cobalt diimine–dioxime catalyst co-grafted on a p-type NiO electrode substrate. (Photo)electrochemical measurements allowed characterization of electron transfer processes within such an assembly and to demonstrate for the first time that a CoI species is formed as the entry into the light-driven H2 evolution mechanism of a dye-sensitized photocathode. This co-grafted noble-metal free H2-evolving photocathode architecture displays similar performances to its covalent dye–catalyst counterpart based on the same catalytic moiety. Post-operando time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) analysis of these photoelectrodes after extensive photoelectrochemical operation suggested decomposition pathways of the dye and triazole linkage used to graft the catalyst onto NiO, providing grounds for the design of optimized molecular DS-PEC components with increased robustness upon turnover.

Abstract
A protocol that combines gas chromatography and a high-sensitivity micro Clark-type electrode is described to quantify hydrogen production across gas and solution phases for systems operating at very low currents such as dye-sensitized H2-evolving photocathodes. Data indicate that a significant fraction of H2 remains in aqueous solution even after several hours of experiments. Using this protocol, re-evaluation of a dye-sensitized H2-evolving photocathode based on a dye-catalyst dyad showed a reproducible 66% increase of the faradaic efficiency compared with previously reported headspace GC measurements [Kaeffer et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc., 2016, 138, 12308-12311]. This dyad was based on an organic push-pull dye where donor and acceptor are separated by one thiophene group. Insertion of a second thiophene group between the donor and acceptor led to a more efficient system with 30% improved faradaic efficiency for H2 evolution.

Abstract
Increasing the efficiency of molecular artificial photosynthetic systems is mandatory for the construction of functional devices for solar fuel production. Decoupling the light-induced charge separation steps from the catalytic process is a promising strategy, which can be achieved thanks to the introduction of suitable electron relay units performing charge accumulation. We report here on a novel ruthenium tris-diimine complex able to temporarily store two electrons on a fused dipyridophenazine-pyridoquinolinone π-extended ligand upon visible-light irradiation in the presence of a sacrificial electron donor. Full characterization of this compound and of its singly and doubly reduced derivatives thanks to resonance Raman, EPR and (TD)DFT studies allowed us to localize the two electron-storage sites and to relate charge photoaccumulation with proton-coupled electron transfer processes.

Abstract
[FeFe]-hydrogenases, HydAs, are unique biocatalysts for proton reduction to H2. However, they suffer from a number of drawbacks for biotechnological applications: size, number and diversity of metal cofactors, oxygen sensitivity. Here we show that HydA from Megasphaera elsdenii (MeHydA) displays significant resistance to O2. Furthermore, we produced a shorter version of this enzyme (MeH-HydA), lacking the N-terminal domain harboring the accessory FeS clusters. As shown by detailed spectroscopic and biochemical characterization, MeH-HydA displays the following interesting properties. First, a functional active site can be assembled in MeH-HydA in vitro, providing the enzyme with excellent hydrogenase activity. Second, the resistance of MeHydA to O2 is conserved in MeH-HydA. Third, MeH-HydA is more biased toward proton reduction than MeHydA, as the result of the truncation changing the rate limiting steps in catalysis. This work shows that it is possible to engineer HydA to generate an active hydrogenase that combines the resistance of the most resistant HydAs and the simplicity of algal HydAs, containing only the H-cluster.

Abstract
A carbon nanotube-cobaloxime nanohybrid was prepared through supramolecular assembly of tailored polymerizable amphiphiles, leading to the coordination of cobalt on pyridine-coated nanotubes. This material was used as a catalyst for hydrogen evolution in fully aqueous media. This study provides a definitive asset regarding the stability of the pyridine-cobalt axial bond under H2 evolution turnover conditions.
