Electrocatalytic CO2 fixation by regenerating reduced cofactor NADH during Calvin Cycle using glassy carbon electrode

In this study, an enzymatic pathway has been developed to replicate the Calvin Cycle by creating the individual steps of the carbon cycle in a bioreactor. The technology known as "artificial photosynthesis" converts CO2 emissions into a variety of intermediates that serve as precursors to high-value products. CO2, light, water, and electricity were used as feedstock. An electrochemical reactor was also studied for the regeneration of active NADH operating at constant electrode potential. Initially, a batch electrochemical reactor containing 80 mL of 0.2 mM NAD+ in Tris-buffer (pH 7.40) was used to evaluate the electrode material operating at normal temperature and pressure. The results showed that the cathode is highly electrocatalytically efficient and selective to regenerate 97.45±0.8% of NADH from NAD+ at electrode potential of -2.3 V vs. mercury standard electrode (MSE). The NADH regeneration system was then integrated with ATP regeneration system and bioreactor containing Ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (RuBisCO). NADH was regenerated successfully during the process electrochemically and then was used by the enzymatic reaction to produce triose phosphate and 3-Phosphoglycerate (3GPA).
