Abstract:CO2 fixation technology has gained attention
as a method
to effectively utilize the abundant CO2 in the atmosphere
by converting it into useful chemicals. However, since CO2 is a highly stable molecule, many of the currently developed methods
for chemical CO2 fixation require harsh conditions and
reactive reagents. The establishment of efficient and sustainable
processes is eagerly awaited. In this study, we investigated a biocatalytic
process and achieved a carboxylation reaction under mild conditions
(37 °C… Show more
