The environmental footprint from power generation can be mitigated by capturing emitted carbon dioxide (CO2) and converting it to value-added fuel sources. A multitude of different fuels can be produced from CO2 depending on the chemical reaction catalysts. Typically, these pathways can be developed electrochemically, or through hydrogenation. In recent years the electrochemical reduction of CO2 has grown exponentially, as it has shown potential to decrease atmospheric pollution and provide an additional means of on-demand electricity storage. Formic acid (FA) in particular has industrial applications such as in fuel cells or as a hydrogen storage medium, and requires a lower thermodynamic energy input than any other fuel produced for electrochemical CO2 reduction. However, product selectivity remains a challenge for conventional electrocatalysts, making FA production efficiencies above 50% difficult. To address the challenge of catalytic selectivity, UK CAER employs enzymatic catalysts to facilitate the FA production and minimize unwanted byproducts. Our process couples the catalyst with a charge mediator which is necessary to shuttle electrons, and an electrolyte pH buffer to prevent the catalyst from degrading. Presently, production efficiencies have approached 60% at a rate of over 10 mM FA/hour. System design considerations (flow rate, bulk volume) will also be discussed.
