CO2 to Formate Intermediates Monitoring Team

Caption

In Brookhaven Lab's Chemistry Division, (from right) David Grills, Renato Sampaio, and Etsuko Fujita discuss the results of a spectroelectrochemical investigation of one of a series of ruthenium carbonyl catalysts while Dmitry Polyansky sets up an electrochemical cell for the next experiment. The team, also including David Szalda of Baruch College (not pictured), discovered that a widely used component in the photochemical (light-induced) reduction of carbon dioxide into usable energy-rich products enhances key steps of the catalytic cycle.
