Description
Summary:Assemblies of carbon monoxide dehydrogenase molecules with CdS nanocrystals show fast CO 2 reduction driven by visible light. Activity is strongly influenced by size and shape of nanocrystals, and by the nature of the electron donor. Carbon monoxide dehydrogenase (CODH) co-attached with CdS nanocrystals (quantum dots or nanorods) exhibits fast CO 2 reduction under visible light.
