Electrosynthesis strategies have seen a resurgence over the last decade, although most electrocatalysts for electrosynthesis are either traditional metal catalysts (i.e. Pt, Pd, or alloy catalysts) or molecular electrocatalysts. However, biocatalysts can be utilized for improving the selectivity of electrosyntheses. This talk will discuss the use of microbial and enzymatic bioelectrocatalysis for electrosynthesis. It will compare and contrast microbial and enzymatic bioelectrocatalysis. Then, the talk will show the use of enzymes and microbes for mediated and direct bioelectrosynthesis of ammonia and value-added chemical products (i.e. chiral amines). Finally, the talk will discuss the future directions in bioelectrocatalysis for electrosynthesis.
