Noble metal-free hydrogen evolution catalysts for water splitting
Xiaoxin Zou,Yu Zhang +1 more
TL;DR: This review highlights the recent research efforts toward the synthesis of noble metal-free electrocatalysts, especially at the nanoscale, and their catalytic properties for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), and summarizes some important examples showing that non-Pt HER electrocatsalysts could serve as efficient cocatalysts for promoting direct solar-to-hydrogen conversion in both photochemical and photoelectrochemical water splitting systems, when combined with suitable semiconductor photocatalyst.

Biohydrogen production: prospects and limitations to practical application
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compare the hydrogen production rates of various bio-hydrogen systems by first standardizing the units of hydrogen production and then calculating the size of biohydrogen system that would be required to power proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells of various sizes.

X-ray crystal structure of the Fe-only hydrogenase (CpI) from Clostridium pasteurianum to 1.8 angstrom resolution.
TL;DR: A three-dimensional structure for the monomeric iron-containing hydrogenase (CpI) from Clostridium pasteurianum was determined, providing insights into the mechanism of biological hydrogen activation and has broader implications for [Fe-S] cluster structure and function in biological systems.

Sustained photobiological hydrogen gas production upon reversible inactivation of oxygen evolution in the green alga chlamydomonas reinhardtii
TL;DR: The work describes a novel approach for sustained photobiological production of H(2) gas via the reversible hydrogenase pathway in the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, and suggests that photoreduction of ferredoxin is followed by electron donation to theversible hydrogenase.

Fermentative and photochemical production of hydrogen in algae
Hans Gaffron,Jack Rubin +1 more
TL;DR: The results obtained allow for a more correct explanation of the anaerobic induction period previously described for Scenedesmus and similar algae as well as the possibility of a photochemical evolution of hydrogen.

Fermentation in cyanobacteria
Lucas J. Stal,Roy Moezelaar +1 more
TL;DR: Calculations show that the yield of ATP during fermentation, although it is low relative to aerobic respiration, exceeds the amount that is likely to be required for maintenance, which appears to be very low in these cyanobacteria.
