Visible light-driven CO2 reduction by enzyme coupled CdS nanocrystals.

Journal article

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.
