New research shows how engineered enzymes and cell-free systems can be combined to recycle CO2 into Acetyl-CoA and other ...

For a carbon-neutral bioeconomy, processes are needed that can efficiently capture CO 2 and convert it into valuable products. Formic acid, or more specifically its salt, formate, is considered a ...

Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have developed an innovative electrochemical cell that efficiently converts captured carbon dioxide (CO2) into formate, a green fuel. This new system, ...

The road to a more sustainable planet may be partially paved with manganese. According to a new study by researchers at Yale ...

The origin of the elusive preference of copper chalcogenides for selectively converting carbon dioxide (CO 2) into formate has long puzzled researchers. Researchers at National Taiwan University have ...

A research team from China Agricultural University and Nanyang Technological University reported in eScience that they have developed a copper-modified cobalt oxyhydroxide catalyst capable of ...

Researchers at the University of Warwick report that when the sodium formate is used in combination with a metal-based cancer treatment it can greatly increase its ability to shut down cancer cells.

Acetogens are a group of bacteria that can metabolise formate. For example, they form acetic acid -- an important basic chemical. If these bacteria were manipulated to produce ethanol or lactic acid, ...

Methyl formate, a clear, volatile liquid, is the simplest carboxylate ester. It can be made in the lab by the acid-catalyzed esterification of formic acid and methanol. Industrially, it is produced by ...

Ethyl formate is a simple aliphatic ester that is full of benefits and concerns. It’s a clear, slightly oily liquid with a pleasant, rumlike odor and the flavor of raspberries. The ester occurs in ...
