“…The selectivity can be controlled by the chemical environment, then the electroconversion of biomass biopolymers or derivatives in ionic liquids or deep eutectic solvents attracts great attention owing to high catalytic efficiency, high solubility of biomass molecules, unique molecular structure, and recyclable property [17,28]. The use of bio-sourced aprotic solvents, such as -valerolactone, also allowed performing electrocarboxylation of furfural to give 2-furyl(hydroxy)acetic acid with a yield of 82% [60].…”

“…58 Other electro-reduction reactions Boissou et al studied the electrocarboxylation of FF on Pt/C, which produced 2-furyl(hydroxy)acetic acid. 156 The polar aprotic solvent g-valerolactone (GVL) was used as a low-cost, non-toxic and non-polluting bio-source solvent that has good CO 2 solubility and can effectively suppress competing side reactions at highly negative CO 2 reduction potentials. Upon addition of FF, the activated CO 2 molecule (e.g., CO 2 c − ) preferentially reacted with the carbonyl carbon of FF to form ahydroxy carboxylate species, while signicantly inhibiting the reduction of GVL and CO 2 .…”

Catalytic Hybrid Electrocatalytic/Biocatalytic Cascades for Carbon Dioxide Reduction and Valorization

Carbon dioxide, as a greenhouse gas, has a critical impact on global climate change. Hence, reducing its emissions and/or transforming it into value-added chemicals is of paramount importance to society. Such a goal can be achieved through the development of electrochemical catalytic processes, which showed initial successes in synthesizing CO and cosynthesis of H 2 (syngas) from CO 2 . However, to further advance the technology toward more complex hydrocarbons (possibly fuels) and more complex organic molecules to be used in industrial chemical synthesis of rubber/resins and plastics or even fine chemical synthesis of pharmaceuticals, catalytic structures have to be designed beyond simple materials. One approach consists of executing the required steps linking CO and small alcohols and the desired products through chemical reactions catalyzed by enzymes or microorganisms, hence combining them with the electrocatalysts used for the initial steps of the CO 2 reduction. Here, we discuss the electrocatalysts, enzymes, and bacteria to be used for those cascade reactions. Inorganic catalysts can be directly utilized for initial steps of CO 2 reduction resulting in formate, carbon monoxide, and methanol, which then can be further reduced by employing enzymatic catalysts such as carbonic anhydrase and formate dehydrogenase, formaldehyde dehydrogenase, and alcohol dehydrogenase. Formate, carbon monoxide, and methanol can also be converted to acetyl-CoA and pyruvate, which are critical intermediates in the production of various chemicals of critical importance. Furthermore, if a chemolithoautotrophic bacteria is employed, the former can be used as a feedstock for biomass. A special emphasis is here given to the compatibility of the different classes of electrocatalysts used in the cascade: heterogeneous electrocatalysts (metals and metal oxides/carbides/nitrites, atomically dispersed transition metal−nitrogen-carbon, etc.), enzymatic catalysts (individually purified enzymes or multienzymatic complexes), bacterial cells (pure or mixed cultures of different classes, planktonic, or biofilm-forming), and their integration in singular bed reactors or multireactors units required for the formation of the products of interest. The electrocatalysts and related cascade reaction pathways are summarized in a descriptive "connectivity map" identifying the most important reaction pathways.
