Light-activated metal catalyst selectively converts carbon dioxide to industrial chemical

Summary by Phys.org
Chemists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory have designed a new way to convert abundant carbon dioxide (CO2) into formate (HCO2-), an industrial chemical used as a fuel, as an antibacterial/antifungal agent, and for making pharmaceuticals. Their reaction uses a light-activated metal-centered catalyst to facilitate the transfer of electrons and protons needed for the chemical conversion.
