Inorganic and biocatalysts work together to reduce CO2

Earth & Climate News -- ScienceDaily · last updated
In order to recover valuable substances from CO2, it must be reduced in many individual steps. If electrocatalysis is used for this, many potentially different potential molecules are formed, which cannot necessarily be used. Biocatalysts, on the other hand, are selective and only produce one product — but they are also very sensitive. An international research team has developed a hybrid catalysis cascade that makes use of the advantages of both processes.
