Abstract
Carbon-one-unit (C1) feedstocks are generally used in the chemical synthesis of organic molecules, such as solvents, drugs, polymers, and fuels. Contrary to the dangerous and polluting carbon monoxide mostly coming from fossil fuels, formate and formamide are attractive alternative feedstocks for chemical synthesis. As these are currently mainly obtained from the oil industry, novel synthetic routes have been developed based on the transformation of the greenhouse gas CO2. Such developments are motivated by the urgent need for carbon chemical recycling, leading to a sustainable future. The inert nature of CO2 represents a challenge for chemists to activate and specifically convert the molecule through an affordable and efficient process. The chemical transformation could be inspired by biological CO2 activation, in which highly specialized enzymes perform atmospheric CO2 fixation through relatively abundant metal catalysts. In this Account, we describe and discuss the potential of one of the most efficient biological CO2-converting systems: the formylmethanofuran dehydrogenase (abbreviated as FMD).FMDs are multienzymatic complexes found in archaea that capture CO2 as a formyl group branched on the amine moiety of the methanofuran (MFR) cofactor. This overall reaction leading to formyl-MFR production does not require ATP hydrolysis as compared to the CO2-fixing microbes relying on the reductive Wood-Ljungdahl pathway, highlighting a different operative mode that saves cellular energy. FMD reaction represents the entry point in hydrogenotrophic methanogenesis (H2 and CO2 dependent or formate dependent) and operates in reverse in other methanogenic pathways and microbial metabolisms. Therefore, FMD is a key enzyme in the planetary carbon cycle. After decades of investigations, recent studies have provided a description of the FMD structure, reaction mechanism, and potential for the electroreduction of CO2, to which our laboratory has been actively contributing. FMD is an "all-in-one" enzyme catalyzing a redox-active transformation coupled to a redox-neutral transformation at two very different metal cofactors where new C-H and C-N bonds are made. First, the principle of the overall reaction consisting of an exergonic CO2 reduction coupled with an endergonic formate condensation on MFR is resumed. Then, this Account exposes the molecular details of the active sites and provides an overview of each catalytic mechanism. It also describes the natural versatility of electron-delivery modules fueling CO2 reduction and extends it to the possibilities of using artificial systems such as electrodes. A perspective concludes on how the mechanistic of FMD could be applied to produce CO2-based chemical intermediates to synthesize organic molecules. Indeed, through its biochemical properties, the enzyme opens opportunities for CO2 electroreduction to generate molecules such as formate and formamide derivatives, which are all intermediates for synthesizing organic compounds. Transferring the chemical knowledge acquired from these biological systems would provide coherent models that can lead to further development in the field of synthetic biology and bio-inspired synthetic chemistry to perform large-scale CO2 conversion into building blocks for chemical synthesis.

Abstract
The bacterial molybdenum (Mo)-containing formate dehydrogenase (FdsDABG) from Cupriavidus necator is a soluble NAD+-dependent enzyme belonging to the DMSO reductase family. The holoenzyme is complex and possesses nine redox-active cofactors including a bis(molybdopterin guanine dinucleotide) (bis-MGD) active site, seven iron-sulfur clusters, and 1 equiv of flavin mononucleotide (FMN). FdsDABG catalyzes the two-electron oxidation of HCOO- (formate) to CO2 and reversibly reduces CO2 to HCOO- under physiological conditions close to its thermodynamic redox potential. Here we develop an electrocatalytically active formate oxidation/CO2 reduction system by immobilizing FdsDABG on a glassy carbon electrode in the presence of coadsorbents such as chitosan and glutaraldehyde. The reversible enzymatic interconversion between HCOO- and CO2 by FdsDABG has been realized with cyclic voltammetry using a range of artificial electron transfer mediators, with methylene blue (MB) and phenazine methosulfate (PMS) being particularly effective as electron acceptors for FdsDABG in formate oxidation. Methyl viologen (MV) acts as both an electron acceptor (MV2+) in formate oxidation and an electron donor (MV+•) for CO2 reduction. The catalytic voltammetry was reproduced by electrochemical simulation across a range of sweep rates and concentrations of formate and mediators to provide new insights into the kinetics of the FdsDABG catalytic mechanism.

Abstract
The urgent need to reduce CO2 emissions has motivated the development of CO2 capture and utilization technologies. An emerging application is CO2 transformation into storage chemicals for clean energy carriers. Formic acid (FA), a valuable product of CO2 reduction, is an excellent hydrogen carrier. CO2 conversion to FA, followed by H2 release from FA, are conventionally chemically catalyzed. Biocatalysts offer a highly specific and less energy-intensive alternative. CO2 conversion to formate is catalyzed by formate dehydrogenase (FDH), which usually requires a cofactor to function. Several FDHs have been incorporated in bioelectrochemical systems where formate is produced by the biocathode and the cofactor is electrochemically regenerated. H2 production from formate is also catalyzed by several microorganisms possessing either formate hydrogenlyase or hydrogen-dependent CO2 reductase complexes. Combination of these two processes can lead to a CO2 -recycling cycle for H2 production, storage, and release with potentially lower environmental impact than conventional methods.

Abstract
Activation and turning CO2 into value added products is a promising orientation to address environmental issues caused by CO2 emission. Currently, electrocatalysis has a potent well-established role for CO2 reduction with fast electron transfer rate; but it is challenged by the poor selectivity and low faradic efficiency. On the other side, biocatalysis, including enzymes and microbes, has been also employed for CO2 conversion to target Cn products with remarkably high selectivity; however, low solubility of CO2 in the liquid reaction phase seriously affects the catalytic efficiency. Therefore, a new synergistic role in bioelectrocatalysis for CO2 reduction is emerging thanks to its outstanding selectivity, high faradic efficiency, and desirable valuable Cn products under mild condition that are surveyed in this review. Herein, we comprehensively discuss the results already obtained for the integration craft of enzymatic-electrocatalysis and microbial-electrocatalysis technologies. In addition, the intrinsic nature of the combination is highly dependent on the electron transfer. Thus, both direct electron transfer and mediated electron transfer routes are modeled and concluded. We also explore the biocompatibility and synergistic effects of electrode materials, which emerge in combination with tuned enzymes and microbes to improve catalytic performance. The system by integrating solar energy driven photo-electrochemical technics with bio-catalysis is further discussed. We finally highlight the significant findings and perspectives that have provided strong foundations for the remarkable development of green and sustainable bioelectrocatalysis for CO2 reduction, and that offer a blueprint for Cn valuable products originate from CO2 under efficient and mild conditions.

Abstract
The immobilization of the non-metallic enzyme formate dehydrogenase from Candida boidinii (CbFDH) into a nanoporous carbon with appropriate pore structure was explored for the bioelectrochemical conversion of CO2 to formic acid (FA). Higher FA production rates were obtained upon immobilization of CbFDH compared to the performance of the enzyme in solution, despite the lower nominal CbFDH to NADH (β-nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide reduced) cofactor ratio and the lower amount of enzyme immobilized. The co-immobilization of the enzyme and a rhodium complex as mediator in the nanoporous carbon allowed the electrochemical regeneration of the cofactor. Preparative electrosynthesis of FA carried out on biocathodes of relatively large dimensions (ca. 3 cm × 2 cm) confirmed the higher production rate of FA for the immobilized enzyme. Furthermore, the incorporation of a Nafion binder in the biocathodes did not modify the immobilization extent of the CbFDH in the carbon support. Coulombic efficiencies close to 46% were obtained for the electrosynthesis carried out at -0.8 V for the biocathodes prepared using the lowest Nafion binder content and the co-immobilized enzyme and rhodium redox mediator. Although these values may yet be improved, they confirm the feasibility of these biocathodes in larger scales (6 cm2) beyond most common electrode dimensions reported in the literature (ca. a few mm2).

Abstract
Redox enzymes can work as efficient electrocatalysts. The coupling of redox enzymatic reactions with electrode reactions is called enzymatic bioelectrocatalysis, which imparts high reaction specificity to electrode reactions with nonspecific characteristics. The key factors required for bioelectrocatalysis are hydride ion/electron transfer characteristics and low specificity for either substrate in redox enzymes. Several theoretical features of steady-state responses are introduced to understand bioelectrocatalysis and to extend the performance of bioelectrocatalytic systems. Applications of the coupling concept to bioelectrochemical devices are also summarized with emphasis on the achievements recorded in the research group of the author.

Abstract
Only two enzymes are capable of directly reducing CO2 : CO dehydrogenase, which produces CO at a [NiFe4 S4 ] active site, and formate dehydrogenase, which produces formate at a mononuclear W or Mo active site. Both metalloenzymes are very rapid, energy-efficient and specific in terms of product. They have been connected to electrodes with two different objectives. A series of studies used protein film electrochemistry to learn about different aspects of the mechanism of these enzymes (reactivity with substrates, inhibitors…). Another series focused on taking advantage of the catalytic performance of these enzymes to build biotechnological devices, from CO2 -reducing electrodes to full photochemical devices performing artificial photosynthesis. Here, we review all these works.

Abstract
New measures for reducing atmospheric CO2 are urgently needed. Formate dehydrogenases (FDHs, EC 1.17.1.9) catalyze conversion of CO2 to formate (HCOO-) via a reverse catalytic ability. This enzymatic conversion of CO2 represents a novel first step approach for biocatalytic carbon capture and utilization targeting both CO2 reduction and substitution of petrochemical-based production of important commodity chemicals. To achieve robust and efficient FDH catalyzed CO2 conversion for sustainable large-scale implementation, it is critical to focus on the efficacy of the electron donor, enzyme stabilization, and on how the desired reverse FDH reactivity can be enhanced. Recent advances include the realization that NADH, the most common natural cofactor for reverse FDH catalysis, is an inefficient electron donor for FDH catalyzed CO2 conversion. Improved understanding of the redox reaction details and structure-function relations of both metal-dependent and metal-independent FDHs provides the foundation for achieving rational technological advancements to promote enzymatic CO2 utilization.

Abstract
The decrease of greenhouse gases such as CO2 has become a key challenge for the human kind and the study of the electrocatalytic properties of CO2-reducing enzymes such as formate dehydrogenases is of importance for this goal. In this work, we study the covalent bonding of Desulfovibrio vulgaris Hildenborough FdhAB formate dehydrogenase to chemically modified gold and low-density graphite electrodes, using electrostatic interactions for favoring oriented immobilization of the enzyme. Electrochemical measurements show both bioelectrocatalytic oxidation of formate and reduction of CO2 by direct electron transfer (DET). Atomic force microscopy and quartz crystal microbalance characterization, as well as a comparison of direct and mediated electrocatalysis, suggest that a compact layer of formate dehydrogenase was anchored to the electrode surface with some crosslinked aggregates. Furthermore, the operational stability for CO2 electroreduction to formate by DET is shown with approximately 100% Faradaic yield.

Abstract
Metal-dependent formate dehydrogenases (FDHs) catalyze the reversible conversion of formate into CO2, a proton, and two electrons. Kinetic studies of FDHs provide key insights into their mechanism of catalysis, relevant as a guide for the development of efficient electrocatalysts for formate oxidation as well as for CO2 capture and utilization. Here, we identify and explain the kinetic isotope effect (KIE) observed for the oxidation of formate and deuterioformate by the Mo-containing FDH from Escherichia coli using three different techniques: steady-state solution kinetic assays, protein film electrochemistry (PFE), and pre-steady-state stopped-flow methods. For each technique, the Mo center of FDH is reoxidized at a different rate following formate oxidation, significantly affecting the observed kinetic behavior and providing three different viewpoints on the KIE. Steady-state turnover in solution, using an artificial electron acceptor, is kinetically limited by diffusional intermolecular electron transfer, masking the KIE. In contrast, interfacial electron transfer in PFE is fast, lifting the electron-transfer rate limitation and manifesting a KIE of 2.44. Pre-steady-state analyses using stopped-flow spectroscopy revealed a KIE of 3 that can be assigned to the C-H bond cleavage step during formate oxidation. We formalize our understanding of FDH catalysis by fitting all the data to a single kinetic model, recreating the condition-dependent shift in rate-limitation of FDH catalysis between active-site chemical catalysis and regenerative electron transfer. Furthermore, our model predicts the steady-state and time-dependent concentrations of catalytic intermediates, providing a valuable framework for the design of future mechanistic experiments.

Abstract
Atmospheric CO2 is a cheap and abundant source of carbon for synthetic applications. However, the stability of CO2 makes its conversion to other carbon compounds difficult and has prompted the extensive development of CO2 reduction catalysts. Bioelectrocatalysts are generally more selective, highly efficient, can operate under mild conditions, and use electricity as the sole reducing agent. Improving the communication between an electrode and a bioelectrocatalyst remains a significant area of development. Through the examples of CO2 reduction catalyzed by electroactive enzymes and whole cells, recent advancements in this area are compared and contrasted.

Abstract
Formate dehydrogenase enzymes catalyse the reversible two-electron oxidation of formate to carbon dioxide. The class of metal-dependent formate dehydrogenases comprises prokaryotic enzymes holding redox-active centres and a catalytic site, containing either molybdenum or tungsten ion, that mediates the formate/carbon dioxide interconversion. The carbon dioxide reduction is of a particular interest, since it may be a route for its atmospheric mitigation with the simultaneous production of added-value products, as formate-derived compounds. Recently, the periplasmic formate dehydrogenase from Desulfovibrio desulfuricans, a molybdenum-containing enzyme, was proven to be an efficient enzyme for the CO2 reduction to formate. In this work, the immobilized formate dehydrogenase isolated from Desulfovibrio desulfuricans direct electrochemical behaviour was attained in the presence and absence of substrates and the formal potentials associated with the catalytic centre transitions were determined in non-turnover conditions. The enzyme catalytic activity towards carbon dioxide reduction was observed using direct electrochemical methods.

Abstract
Increasing levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and the growing need for energy necessitate a shift toward reliance on renewable energy sources and the utilization of carbon dioxide. Thus, producing carbonaceous fuel by the electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide has been very appealing. We have focused on addressing the principal challenges of poor selectivity and poor energy efficiency in the electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide. We have demonstrated here a viable pathway for the efficient and continuous electrochemical reduction of CO2 to formate using the metal-independent enzyme type of formate dehydrogenase (FDH) derived from C andida boidinii yeast. This type of FDH is attractive because it is commercially produced. In natural metabolic processes, this type of metal-independent FDH oxidizes formate to carbon dioxide using NAD+ as a cofactor. We show that FDH can catalyze the reverse process to generate formate when the natural cofactor NADH is replaced with an artificial cofactor, the methyl viologen radical cation. The methyl viologen radical cation is generated in situ, electrochemically. Our approach relies on the special properties of methyl viologen as a "unidirectional" redox cofactor for the conversion of CO2 to formate. Methyl viologen (in the oxidized form) does not catalyze formate oxidation, while the methyl viologen radical cation is an effective cofactor for the reduction of carbon dioxide. Thus, although the thermodynamic driving force is favorable for the oxidized form of methyl viologen to oxidize formate to carbon dioxide, the kinetic factors are not favorable. Only the reverse reaction of carbon dioxide reduction to formate is kinetically viable with the cofactor, methyl viologen radical cation. Binding free energy calculated from atomistic molecular dynamics (MD) simulations consolidate our understanding of these special binding properties of the methyl viologen radical cation and its ability to facilitate the two-electron reduction of carbon dioxide to formate in metal-independent FDH. By carrying out the reactions in a novel three-compartment cell, we have demonstrated the continuous production of formate at high energy efficiency and yield. This cell configuration uses judiciously selected ion-exchange membranes to separate the reaction compartments to preserve the yields of the methyl viologen radical cation and formate. By the electroregeneration of the methyl viologen radical cation at -0.44 V versus the normal hydrogen electrode, we could produce formate at 20 mV negative to the reversible electrode potential for carbon dioxide reduction to formate. Our results are in sharp contrast to the large overpotentials of -800 to -1000 mV required on metal catalysts, vindicating the selectivity and kinetic facility provided by FDH. Formate yields as high as 97% ± 1% could be realized by avoiding the adventitious reoxidation of the methyl viologen radical cation by molecular oxygen. We anticipate that the insights from the electrochemical studies and the MD simulations to be useful in redesigning the metal-independent FDH and alternate artificial cofactors to achieve even higher rates of conversion.

Abstract

Solar-driven
coupling of water oxidation with CO2 reduction
sustains life on our planet and is of high priority in contemporary
energy research. Here, we report a photoelectrochemical
tandem device that performs photocatalytic reduction of CO2 to formate. We employ a semi-artificial design, which wires
a W-dependent formate dehydrogenase (FDH) cathode to a photoanode
containing the photosynthetic water oxidation enzyme, Photosystem
II, via a synthetic dye with complementary light absorption. From
a biological perspective, the system achieves a metabolically inaccessible
pathway of light-driven CO2 fixation to formate. From a
synthetic point of view, it represents a proof-of-principle system
utilizing precious-metal-free catalysts for selective CO2-to-formate conversion using water as an electron donor. This hybrid
platform demonstrates the translatability and versatility of coupling
abiotic and biotic components to create challenging models for solar
fuel and chemical synthesis.

Abstract
Biocatalytic transformation has received increasing attention in the green synthesis of chemicals because of the diversity of enzymes, their high catalytic activities and specificities, and mild reaction conditions. The idea of solar energy utilization in chemical synthesis through the combination of photocatalysis and biocatalysis provides an opportunity to make the "green" process greener. Oxidoreductases catalyze redox transformation of substrates by exchanging electrons at the enzyme's active site, often with the aid of electron mediator(s) as a counterpart. Recent progress indicates that photoinduced electron transfer using organic (or inorganic) photosensitizers can activate a wide spectrum of redox enzymes to catalyze fuel-forming reactions (e.g., H2 evolution, CO2 reduction) and synthetically useful reductions (e.g., asymmetric reduction, oxygenation, hydroxylation, epoxidation, Baeyer-Villiger oxidation). This Review provides an overview of recent advances in light-driven activation of redox enzymes through direct or indirect transfer of photoinduced electrons.

Abstract
The conversion of carbon dioxide to formate is a fundamental step for building C1 chemical platforms. Methylobacterium extorquens AM1 was reported to show remarkable activity converting carbon dioxide into formate. Formate dehydrogenase 1 from M. extorquens AM1 (MeFDH1) was verified as the key responsible enzyme for the conversion of carbon dioxide to formate in this study. Using a 2% methanol concentration for induction, microbial harboring the recombinant MeFDH1 expressing plasmid produced the highest concentration of formate (26.6 mM within 21 hours) in electrochemical reactor. 60 μM of sodium tungstate in the culture medium was optimal for the expression of recombinant MeFDH1 and production of formate (25.7 mM within 21 hours). The recombinant MeFDH1 expressing cells showed maximum formate productivity of 2.53 mM/g-wet cell/hr, which was 2.5 times greater than that of wild type. Thus, M. extorquens AM1 was successfully engineered by expressing MeFDH1 as recombinant enzyme to elevate the production of formate from CO2 after elucidating key responsible enzyme for the conversion of CO2 to formate.

Abstract
Electrosynthesis of formate is a promising technology to convert CO2 and electricity from renewable sources into a biocompatible, soluble, non-flammable, and easily storable compound. In the model methanogen Methanococcus maripaludis, uptake of cathodic electrons was shown to proceed indirectly via formation of formate or H2 by undefined, cell-derived enzymes. Here, we identified that the multi-enzyme heterodisulfide reductase supercomplex (Hdr-SC) of M. maripaludis is capable of direct electron uptake and catalyzes rapid H2 and formate formation in electrochemical reactors (-800 mV vs Ag/AgCl) and in Fe(0) corrosion assays. In Fe(0) corrosion assays and electrochemical reactors, purified Hdr-SC primarily catalyzed CO2 reduction to formate with a coulombic efficiency of 90% in the electrochemical cells for 5 days. Thus, this report identified the first enzyme that stably catalyzes the mediator-free electrochemical reduction of CO2 to formate, which can serve as the basis of an enzyme electrode for sustained electrochemical production of formate.

Abstract
Nitrogenases catalyze biological dinitrogen (N2) reduction to ammonia (NH3), and also reduce a number of non-physiological substrates, including carbon dioxide (CO2) to formate (HCOO-) and methane (CH4). Three versions of nitrogenase are known (Mo-, V-, and Fe-nitrogenase), each showing different reactivities towards various substrates. Normally, electrons for substrate reduction are delivered by the Fe protein component of nitrogenase, with energy coming from the hydrolysis of 2 ATP to 2 ADP+2 Pi for each electron transferred. Recently, it has been demonstrated that energy and electrons can be delivered from an electrode to the catalytic nitrogenase MoFe-protein without the need for Fe protein or ATP hydrolysis. Here, it is demonstrated that both the MoFe- and FeFe-protein can be immobilized as a polymer layer on an electrode and that electron transfer mediated by cobaltocene can drive CO2 reduction to formate in this system. It was also found that the FeFe-protein diverts a greater percentage of electrons to CO2 reduction versus proton reduction compared to the MoFe-protein. Quantification of electron flow to products exhibited Faradaic efficiencies of CO2 conversion to formate of 9% for MoFe protein and 32% for FeFe-protein, with the remaining electrons going to proton reduction to make H2.
