1. An apparatus for redox mediation comprising:
- (a) a substrate;
(b) a substrate bound reagent comprising molecules having a redox-active bipyridinium center and binding groups which permit substrate-binding and cross-linking; and
(c) at least one noble metal catalyst dispersed within the substrate-bound reagent.

Abstract
A variety of redox mediating agents employing bipyridinium reagents and such reagents in conjunction with dispersed noble metals, such as platinium, are disclosed as coatings for substrates and electrodes. The agents may be charged by an applied voltage or by photoelectric effects or may be equilibrated with hydrogen. The agents are useful in reducing biological materials and electrolytic hydrogen production.
