require a controlled supply of H2O2 to operate
efficiently. Here, we propose a photocatalytic
system for the reductive activation of ambient O2 to produce
H2O2 which uses the energy provided by visible
light more efficiently based on the combination of wavelength-complementary
photosensitizers. This approach was coupled to an enzymatic system
to make formate available as a sacrificial electron donor. The scope
and current limitations of this approach are reported and discussed.
