Abstract

This study focuses on [FeFe]-hydrogenase and its metallorganic mimics in terms of electronic and photophysical properties, which can be applied to the electrochemical and/or photochemical production of molecular hydrogen. Natural [FeFe]-hydrogenase, synthetic mimics of its active site and recent progresses in hybrid-type hydrogen production, for example, inorganic-combination photoelectrochemical and photochemical hydrogen production, are reviewed.
