Abstract

We found that CODH is a fascinating enzyme for the electrochemical conversion of CO2 to CO. It could reduce CO2 to CO at -0.57 V vs NHE with approximately 100% current efficiency in 0.1 M phosphate buffer (pH 6.3). Nature's unique structure of C-cluster in CODH would be responsible for the low overpotential and the selective and fast conversion of CO2. The turnover number per C-cluster is 700 h-1, and the pH optimum is 6.3.
