Osaka researchers find formate dehydrogenase reduces CO2 directly to formic acid

Green Car Congress

Formate dehydrogenase (FDH) is a catalyst that accelerates the reaction of converting carbon dioxide into formic acid (hydrogen energy storage medium etc.) The development of an effective catalyst is an important step in creating an artificial photosynthesis system that uses sunlight to convert carbon dioxide into organic molecules.

Researchers develop wave-energy-driven CO2 reduction system for production of carbon-based liquid fuels

Green Car Congress

The system consists of three components: the spring-assisted spherical TENG; an energy storage circuit with rectifiers and a supercapacitor; and a two-electrode electrochemical cell for CO 2 RR and OER. This type of TENG is more cost-effective compared to conventional EMG-based wave energy converters. Leung et al.
