Scientific paper

We describe several novel proposals for CO2 reduction through chemical, photochemical, and photoelectrochemical means. The approach involves coupled catalytic cycles to simultaneously produce oxygen and carbon monoxide. Efficient metal catalysts and photocatalysts are to be used for both halfreactions: (1) the reduction of CO2 to CO; and (2) the evolution of O2. Photolytic reduction of CO2 to CO and oxygen can occur under mild conditions using a series of recently synthesized trinuclear nickel catalysts. Nickel cluster catalysts hold great promise because of the proven ability of nickel cluster materials to catalyze the reduction of CO2 to CO.
