Photocatalytic reduction of carbon dioxide by immobilized nickel(II) and ruthenium(II) complexes into a Nafion membrane

摘要

Identifying suitable catalysts for selective reduction of molecules to form useful chemical compounds is very interesting. A very stable and reproducible catalytic system was prepared by immobilizing macrocyclic nickel(II) and tris(2,2'-bipyridine)ruthenium(II) complexes into a Nafion membrane and was used to achieve selective reduction of carbon dioxide to formic acid.
