Bioinspired Enzyme‐Like Mechanism Enables Adaptive Local Charge Modulation for Blue Energy Harvesting

Key Points

• The study aims to explore how a bioinspired enzyme-like mechanism enhances energy harvesting during river and seawater mixing.
• Combined experimental and theoretical analyses were conducted to assess the FeCo configuration.
• The optimal metal-metal bond length was identified to balance oxygen adsorption and desorption.
• Energy conversion performance was evaluated under spontaneous conditions.
• The heteronuclear FeCo configuration enabled the most energetically favorable proton-consumption pathway.
• Dynamic local charge regulation significantly improved osmotic energy conversion performance.
