This paper reports the design and preparation of a biohybrid photoelectrochemical cell (PEC) that can drive the tandem enzymatic oxidation and aldol condensation of <i>n</i>-butanol (BuOH) to C<sub>8</sub> 2-ethylhexenal (2-EH). In this work, BuOH was first oxidized to <i>n</i>-butyraldehyde (BA) by the alcohol oxidase enzyme (AOx), concurrently generating hydrogen peroxide (H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>). To preserve enzyme activity and increase kinetics nearly 2-fold, the H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</su ...[more]
