The electrochemical reduction of CO2 has been extensively investigated in recent years, with the expectation that a detailed mechanistic understanding could achieve goal finding stable catalyst high turnover frequencies and low potentials. In catalytic cycle carbon dioxide hydrogenase enzyme, it suggested reduced metal center reacts to form carboxylate intermediate is stabilized by hydrogen bonding using histidine moiety second coordination sphere. Using well-known fac-Re(I)bipyridine(CO)3Cl...

Carbon monoxide dehydrogenase (CODH) enzymes are active for the reversible CO oxidation-CO2 reduction reaction and of interest in context CO2 abatement carbon-neutral solar fuels. Bioinspired by active-site composition CODHs, polyoxometalates triply substituted with first-row transition metals were modularly synthesized.

Abstract Carbon monoxide dehydrogenase (CODH) enzymes are active for the reversible CO oxidation–CO 2 reduction reaction and of interest in context abatement carbon‐neutral solar fuels. Bioinspired by active‐site composition CODHs, polyoxometalates triply substituted with first‐row transition metals were modularly synthesized. The polyanions, short, {SiM 3 W 9 } {SiM′ M′′W }, M, M′, M′′=Cu II , Ni Fe III shown to be electrocatalysts reduction. A catalytic Tafel plot showed that {SiCu was...
