Direct catalytic hydrogenation of CO2 to formate over a Schiff-base-mediated gold nanocatalyst
Bicarbonate reduction is a bottleneck step of the CO2 hydrogenation to formic acid in alkaline solution. Here, the authors show a highly active Schiff-base-modified gold nanocatalyst for the efficient reduction of CO2 to formic acid under relatively mild conditions.
