Renewable energy systems will benefit from molecules that mimic natural processes,say Swedish researchers.Sascha Ott and colleagues at the University ofUppsala have made a synthetic complex that can mimic natural proton-reducing enzymes.The group aimed to replicate and analyse natural iron and nickel catalysts by building small model complexes.'If we can manage to make synthetic complexes that function at similar potential and under similar conditions,an abundant and renewable future energy supply is in reach,' said Ott.
