Deskripsi

Most chemical reactions proceed downhill without external energy input. Here, authors employ an electronic flyback and a boost converter to store energy and spontaneously drive an uphill reaction. The concept is exhibited by an enzymatic biofuel cell, driving water splitting in a single compartment.
