An international research team has shown how this works.<\/p>\n<p>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 \u2013 but they are also very sensitive. An international research team led by Professor Wolfgang Schuhmann from the Center for Electrochemistry at Ruhr-Universit\u00e4t Bochum, Germany, and Dr. Felipe Conzuelo from the Universidade Nova de Lisboa, Portugal, has developed a hybrid catalysis cascade that makes use of the advantages of both processes. The researchers report in the journal \u201cAngewandte Chemie Interational Edition\u201d from December 23, 2024.<\/p>\n<p>Advantages and Disadvantages of Electrocatalysis and Biocatalysis<br \/>\nMethanol is one of the substances that we would like to obtain from climate-damaging CO2. It is often used as a synthesis raw material in the chemical industry. \u201cMany reduction steps are required to produce methanol, as carbon dioxide is the most highly oxidized form of carbon,\u201d explains Wolfgang Schuhmann. Electrocatalysis is able to initiate these steps. However, while it is still selective in the first step, the reaction path then branches out and up to 16 different products are formed, not necessarily methanol. The situation is different with biocatalysts: these natural enzymes catalyze just one reaction and therefore only yield one product. However, they are complicated to handle, very sensitive or require cofactors for the reaction. <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/news.rub.de\/english\/press-releases\/2025-01-13-chemistry-inorganic-and-biocatalysts-work-together-reduce-co2\"><strong>Read more at Ruhr-University Bochum\u00a0<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.enn.com\/articles\/75873-inorganic-and-biocatalysts-work-together-to-reduce-co2\">ENN<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/vau-viikkokatsaus\/inorganic-and-biocatalysts-work-together-to-reduce-co2\/\">Inorganic and Biocatalysts Work Together to Reduce CO2<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[17649,606,607,608],"class_list":["post-136737","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-inorganic-and-biocatalysts-work","tag-vau_viikkokatsaus","tag-vauen","tag-vaufien"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/136737","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=136737"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/136737\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=136737"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=136737"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=136737"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
