Abstract

This review paper delves into the realm of electrocatalysts for redox flow batteries and electrochemical energy technologies, highlighting advancements in rational design and computational insights. The investigation explores the intricate interplay between oxidoreductase enzymes and biocatalysis, elucidating the mechanisms involved in electron transfer between substrates through enzymatic bioelectrocatalysis. Notably, the utilization of polymeric and surface-confined ferrocene mediators emerges as a pivotal strategy, as evidenced by their integration into electrochemical biosensors and their role in enhancing electrocatalysis. The discourse extends to the realm of redox flow batteries, where the principles of chemical reduction and oxidation are harnessed for energy storage. The paper underscores the significance of high surface area carbon electrodes in facilitating the transportation of active materials within electrolytes for effective electrochemical reactions. Furthermore, the imperative need for cost-effective electrocatalysts in advancing renewable electrochemical energy technologies like electrolyzers and fuel cells is emphasized. The review also evaluates the contributions of computational research, specifically density functional theory, in providing atomistic insights into structure and activity, complementing experimental endeavors. Finally, the spotlight shifts to catecholamines as vital neurotransmitters, discussing their central role in neurological and circulatory systems. This comprehensive exploration sheds light on the multifaceted advancements, challenges, and potential future directions in these interconnected fields, enriching our understanding of electrocatalytic processes and their applications in sustainable energy and biochemistry.
