Photocatalytic regeneration of NADH using diatom-inspired chemistry
Researchers studying the photocatalytic regeneration of NADH, and its possible application to solar energy conversion, have drawn inspiration from frustule – the silica material that surrounds diatoms. Diatoms are unicellular photosynthetic algae that are known to be highly efficient when i ... more
