Current trends in enzymatic electrosynthesis for CO2 reduction

Abstract

Enzymatic electrosynthesis offers a novel approach to the production of chemicals through CO2 sequestration. In this minireview, we present the most recent state-of-the-art information on enzymatic CO2 reduction for the production of chemicals such as formic acid using oxidoreductase (single or multiple) enzymes as electrocatalysts in the enzymatic electrosynthesis cell. Key challenges toward upscaling of this CO2 utilization approach are identified, and future research directions are discussed briefly.
