A novel electron carrier molecule based on a viologen derivative for visible light-driven CO2 reduction to formic acid with the system of zinc porphyrin and formate dehydrogenase

Abstract

An effective visible light-driven CO2 reduction to formic acid system was developed with zinc porphyrin, formate dehydrogenase and 1,1′-diaminoethyl-4,4′-bipyridinium salt.
