Nicolas Plumere

Prof. Nicolas Plumeré holds a professorship in Electrobiotechnology at the TUM Campus Straubing, Technische Universität München. His research focuses on electrochemical systems, biohybrid energy conversion, and enzyme stabilization. Key areas include hydrogenase-based biofuel cells, oxygen-tolerant biosensors, and semi-artificial photosynthetic systems. His work bridges electrochemistry, biotechnology, and materials science to develop sustainable energy solutions.

Research interests emphasize redox-active polymers for enzyme protection, bioelectrocatalytic CO₂ fixation, and light-driven hydrogen production. He has pioneered techniques such as redox hydrogel matrices that stabilize oxygen-sensitive enzymes.

His publications highlight advancements in electrochemical analysis (e.g., diffusional voltammetry), bioelectrochemical systems for H₂ production, and novel biosensor designs. Recent work explores circular hydrogen economies and techno-economic assessments of carbon capture technologies.

Plumeré's innovations include the Plug-Lock-Lid mechanism for hydrogenase activation and methods to suppress hydrogen peroxide formation in biocatalytic systems. His contributions advance both fundamental electrochemistry and applied bioenergy technologies.
