NAD(P)H inspired CO_(2) reduction and beyond

The catalytic reduction of carbon dioxide to fuels and valueadded chemicals under mild conditions is recognized as a promising strategy to alleviate the energy crisis.In the Calvin cycle of natural photosynthesis,CO_(2)reduction is achieved using cofactor nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate(NADPH)as a practical catalyst,shedding light on the biomimetic metal-free reduction of CO_(2).
