Room-Temperature DNA-Catalyzed Hydrogen Fuel Cell

Outline

Background and motivation – the success of pheophytin (pheo, 脫鎂葉綠素) catalyst 
Porphyrin-ring family and roles of their derivative morphologies 
Similar derivatives within DNA base pairs 
1st-principle simulation of simplified H2 decomposition steps involving derivative DNA base
   pairs  → energetically favorable?  
Wet DNA-catalyzed chemical battery experiment and result 
Dry DNA-catalyzed hydrogen fuel cell under room temperature  
Summary and conclusions
