Abstract in brief

  • The electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide (CO) can be enhanced using DNA as a molecular-scale "Velcro" to attach porphyrin-based catalysts to electrode surfaces, improving their effectiveness.
  • This method increases the stability of the catalysts and boosts their Faradaic efficiencies, achieving nearly 100% efficiency in immobilization on carbon electrodes.
  • The results show that DNA-immobilized catalysts require lower potentials to generate carbon monoxide (CO) and exhibit significantly higher efficiencies, reaching up to 79.1% for CO production, indicating a promising approach for various aqueous reactions.

Electrocatalysts are crucial for cheap green fuel manufacture. Catalyst nanostructure is essential for efficiency (arrangement of reactive surface atoms), but difficult and costly to engineer. Exciting research uses DNA structures for this scaffolding. https://t.co/14v5nxSpqE
