Full paper: https://pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.1021/jacsau.3c00823 https://pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.1021/jacsau.3c00823 It's really more about tethered heterogenous catalyst development, the idea being that anchoring the soluble catalysts on the electrode via a molecular tether (DNA in this case) improves reaction performance on several axes. > "Here, we demonstrate the first application of DNA “Velcro” to immobilize molecular CO2RR catalysts on electrode surfaces (Figure 1b). The DNA-catalyst conjugates are readily synthesized and have improved stability as compared to the small-molecule catalysts alone simply through the incorporation of the DNA. Subsequent immobilization on carbon electrodes through hybridization to predeposited complementary DNA strands showed improved Faradaic efficiency (FE) toward CO production. We anticipate this method to be a general strategy to more easily and efficiently immobilize electrocatalysts for improved catalytic efficiency." Industrial development is possible but depends on the lifetime of the catalyst and ease of regenerating it in a timely efficient manner as it wears out.
