Scientists from the Key Laboratory of Photoelectric Conversion and Utilization of Solar Energy at the Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology (QIBEBT), Chinese Academy of Sciences, alongside collaborators from other institutions, have developed an efficient electrocatalyst called Co-N/S-HCS that demonstrates remarkable activity and stability in seawater electrolysis, marking a major advancement in the field. The Co-N/S-HCS offers a sustainable hydrogen production solution with minimal reliance on freshwater resources. Seawater electrolysis has long been seen as a promising pathway for sustainable hydrogen production but has faced significant limitations due to chloride ion (Cl⁻) corrosion, which can degrade a catalyst’s performance.Now, scientists from the Qi...

A team of researchers led by Prof. CONG Zhiqi from the Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has transformed the NADH-dependent CYP199A4 into a peroxygenase that can directly utilize H2O2 through an innovative engineering strategy known as H2O2 tunneling. A crucial step in the degradation and utilization of lignin is the process of O-demethylation of lignin monomers, facilitated by O-demethylases. Current O-demethylases face challenges such as limited substrate specificity, unclear reaction mechani...
