Enhancement of catalytic activity for selective hydrogen production from formate with homogeneously poly(vinylpyrrolidone)/cationic poly(l-lysine) dispersed platinum nanoparticles

By using Pt nanoparticles dispersed by polyvinylpyrrolidone and cationic biopolymer, poly(l-lysine) (Pt–PVP/PLL), the highly selective H₂ production based on formate decomposition was accomplished compared with that of Pt–PVP.

Activation of the catalytic function of formaldehyde dehydrogenase for formate reduction by single-electron reduced methylviologen

The kinetic properties of formate reduction to formaldehyde with formaldehyde dehydrogenase (FldDH) using single-electron reduced methylviologen (MV˙) as a co-enzyme were clarified.

Abnormal co-enzymatic behavior of a one-electron reduced bipyridinium salt with a carbamoyl group on the catalytic activity of CO2 reduction by formate dehydrogenase

A carbamoyl-modified bipyridinium salt has an enhancement and deactivation behaviour on the catalytic activity of CO₂ reduction by formate dehydrogenase (FDH) from Candida boidinii.

A visible-light driven electrochemical biofuel cell with the function of CO2conversion to formic acid: coupled thylakoid from microalgae and biocatalyst immobilized electrodes

A new visible-light driven electrochemical biofuel cell consisting of the thylakoid membrane of microalgae immobilized on a TiO₂layer electrode as a photoanode, a formate dehydrogenase/viologen co-immobilized electrode as a cathode, and a CO₂-saturated buffer solution as the redox electrolyte, was developed.

The effect of the functional ionic group of the viologen derivative on visible-light driven CO2 reduction to formic acid with the system consisting of water-soluble zinc porphyrin and formate dehydrogenase

The effect of the functional ionic group of 4,4′-bipyridinium salt on the visible-light driven CO₂ conversion to formic acid with the system consisting of zinc porphyrin and formate dehydrogenase was investigated.
