Abstract
Photobiocatalysis is currently in vogue. The number of reports combining the disciplines of biocatalysis and photocatalysis is rapidly increasing. While the synthetic possibilities enabled by photobiocatalysis are fascinating, the economic feasibility and environmental impact are largely neglected in the current literature. In this contribution, we present a range of key indicators for economic feasibility and environmental impact that may be useful for readers to assess their own work and thereby avoid unrealistic exaggerations. We also critically review the current state of the art in photobiocatalysis and question its synthetic practicability beyond the laboratory. With this contribution, we aim to provoke an open discussion.
期刊介绍：
Chem Catalysis is a monthly journal that publishes innovative research on fundamental and applied catalysis, providing a platform for researchers across chemistry, chemical engineering, and related fields. It serves as a premier resource for scientists and engineers in academia and industry, covering heterogeneous, homogeneous, and biocatalysis. Emphasizing transformative methods and technologies, the journal aims to advance understanding, introduce novel catalysts, and connect fundamental insights to real-world applications for societal benefit.
