Jan. 30, 2013 — Hydrogen has tremendous
potential as an eco-friendly fuel, but it is expensive to produce.
Now researchers at Princeton University and Rutgers University
have moved a step closer to harnessing nature to produce hydrogen
for us.
The team, led by Princeton chemistry professor Annabella Selloni, takes inspiration from bacteria that make hydrogen from water using enzymes called di-iron hydrogenases. Selloni's team uses computer models to figure out how to incorporate the magic of these enzymes into the design of practical synthetic catalysts that humans can use to produce hydrogen from water.
