Research Outline

Construction of highly efficient and selective material conversion systems using inorganic/bio hybrid photocatalysts that combine photocatalysts and biocatalysts

Enzymes, which are biocatalysts, realize highly selective and efficient reactions that are difficult to achieve artificially or are energetically inefficient. Therefore, by combining enzyme reactions with inorganic photocatalysts, we aim to drive or accelerate them using light energy and construct a highly efficient and selective material conversion system.
