Enhancing and Stabilizing Hydrogen Catalysis Through [NiFe]‐Hydrogenase Immobilization Within Macroporous Covalent Organic Frameworks

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
[NiFe]‐hydrogenases efficiently catalyze hydrogen conversion, but their instability limits biotechnological applications. Here it is shown that encapsulating hydrogenase into hierarchical COFs with macro‐ and micropores and functionalized with sulfonic or carboxylic acid groups improves enzyme stability and electron transfer to electrodes.
