The ultimate goal of this research is to construct a new direct CO2 fixation system using photosystems in living algae. Here, we report light-driven formate production from CO2 by using cyanobacterial photosystem I (PS I). Formate, a chemical hydrogen carrier and important industrial material, can be produced from CO2 by using the reducing power and the catalytic function of formate dehydrogena...

• Synthesis of high surface area SnO 2 NPs as electrocatalyst for continuous production formate from CO RR. First evaluation nm performance RR in a flow electrolyzer. A maximum [formate] 27 g L ?1 was achieved with FE 44.9 % at 300 mA cm -2 . provokes significant migration current. Tin oxide nanoparticles (SnO NPs) the reduction reaction (CO RR). We synthesize, characterize and evaluate (2.4 29...

A surface oxidised Fe–S catalyst enhances the liquid phase conversion of CO2 to formate under mild hydrothermal conditions.

Invited for this month′s cover are the Industrial Sustainable Chemistry group of Prof. Dr Gert-Jan M. Gruter and Catalysis Engineering Dr. Raveendran Shiju at University Amsterdam. The image shows a full cycle from CO2 to polymers via several steps. work reports use superbases in suitable environments improve formate coupling step by drastically lowering reaction temperature times whilst achiev...

Pseudomonas putida KT2440 exhibits redundant formaldehyde dehydrogenases and formate dehydrogenases that contribute to the detoxification of formaldehyde, a highly toxic compound. Physical and transcriptional analyses showed that the open reading frame (ORF) PP0328, encoding one of the formaldehyde dehydrogenases, is self-sufficient, whereas the other functional formaldehyde dehydrogenase gene ...
