Constructing Nanocaged Enzymes for Synergistic Catalysis of CO₂ Reduction.

ABSTRACT: Promoting the activity of biological enzymes under in vitro environment is a promising technique for bioelectrocatalytic reactions, such as the conversion of carbon dioxide (CO₂ ) into valuable chemicals, which is a promising strategy to address the environmental issue of CO₂ in the atmosphere; however, this technique remains challenging. Herein, a nanocage structure for enzyme confinement is synthesized to enable the in situ encapsulation of formate dehydrogenase (FDH) in a porous metal-organic framework, which acts as a coenzyme and boosts the hybrid synergistic catalysis using enzymes. This study reveals that the synthesized FDH@ZIF-8 nanocage-structured hybrid (CSH) catalyst exhibits an improved catalytic ability of the enzymes and increases the hydrophobicity of
