Photoinduced reduction of carbon dioxide to formic acid with ruthenium complexes.

Caption

Researchers have recently developed a chemical method that utilizes ruthenium complexes for catalyzing the reduction of CO2 to formic acid, a value-added chemical. The novel technology will help maintain the carbon cycle and develop renewable materials.
