Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a method and application of using a multifunctional carrier of immobilized enzyme to enhance enzyme electrocatalytic CO2 reduction, and specifically to the preparation of hollow carrier, immobilized enzyme and bioelectrocatalytic coenzyme regeneration application. Background Art

[0002] Global warming, caused by emissions of carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, methane, and hydrofluorocarbons, poses a serious environmental threat. Excessive carbon dioxide emissions, as a greenhouse gas, undoubtedly contribute to the global warming effect, leading to more frequent extreme weather events, desertification, and sea level rise. Therefore, capturing and fully utilizing carbon dioxide to convert it into high-value-added carbon-containing chemicals and energy compounds is of great value.

[0003] Among the numerous CO2 utilization pathways, enzyme catalysis provides a promising alternative due to its superior selectivity. Formate is the first stable intermediate in the reduction of CO2 through a cascade reaction, and reducing CO2 to formate is the most economical route. Formate dehydrogenase (FDH) is an oxidoreductase that specifically and reversibly catalyzes the conversion of CO2 to formate. In this process, reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) is usually required as a sacrificial agent to shuttle electrons and protons between FDH and CO2, accelerating the reversible reduction of CO2. However, due to its high price and NAD + The large-scale use of enzymatic reduction of CO2 is limited by the inhibition of product formation. At atmospheric pressure, the solubility of CO2 in water is limited, which may lead to low substrate concentration. Therefore, increasing the solubility of CO2 is crucial to promoting the forward reaction. The zeolite imidazole framework ZIF-8 is considered to be an excellent porous material for selective capture of CO2 with a very high CO2 adsorption capacity. In addition, carbonic anhydrase (CA) plays a vital role in the capture and conversion of CO2 in organisms. CA can accelerate the absorption of CO2 in aqueous solution and only requires low desorption heat and energy. However, free FDH and CA have problems such as easy deactivation, difficult recovery, and high cost when catalyzing the reaction.

[0004] Therefore, in order to achieve the reuse of enzymes, ensure the efficient reduction efficiency of CO2, and reduce the consumption of expensive coenzymes, it is urgent to develop a carrier that can effectively adsorb CO2, immobilize enzymes and realize coenzyme regeneration. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In response to the above-mentioned prior art, the present invention proposes a hollow ZIF-8 immobilized dual enzyme and its preparation method, which utilizes MOFs to immobilize formate dehydrogenase and carbonic anhydrase for enzymatic electrocatalytic reduction of CO2, thereby achieving efficient and low-cost CO2 conversion. The preparation method of the present invention is simple to prepare and easy to implement. By embedding formate dehydrogenase and carbonic anhydrase in ZIF-67, a layer of ZIF-8 shell is then grown on its surface to dissociate the ZIF-67, allowing FDH and CA to be fixed in a free state in the ZIF-8 cavity for enzymatic electrocatalytic CO2 reduction. 2-Hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone is used to regenerate coenzymes, reducing the consumption of expensive coenzymes. The bioelectrocatalytic CO2 reduction has a high formic acid yield.

[0006] This invention utilizes MOFs to encapsulate the enzyme within a cavity. The hollow structure reduces interfacial interactions, resulting in fewer structural constraints and minimal forces between the enzyme and the support, maximizing molecular freedom and maintaining high enzyme activity. The MOF protects the free enzyme from macromolecular inhibitors. By utilizing carbonic anhydrase to adsorb CO₂ and selecting a support with a high CO₂ adsorption capacity for the immobilized enzyme, the substrate concentration is increased.

[0007] To solve the above technical problems, the present invention proposes a hollow ZIF-8 immobilized dual enzyme, which includes formate dehydrogenase and carbonic anhydrase. The dual enzyme is embedded in ZIF-67, and then a layer of ZIF-8 shell is grown on its surface. The ZIF-67 is dissociated, and the formate dehydrogenase and carbonic anhydrase are immobilized in the ZIF-8 shell in a free state to form a hollow ZIF-8 immobilized dual enzyme.

The obtained product is recorded as FDH&CA@ZIF-67@ZIF-8 precipitate;

[0010] Step 3) The product obtained in step 2) is immersed in deionized water and incubated at room temperature for 24 hours. The precipitate is collected by filtration, washed with excess deionized water multiple times, and freeze-dried for more than 12 hours. The obtained product is a hollow ZIF-8 immobilized dual enzyme.

[0034] The design concept of the present invention is to propose a method of utilizing the hollow structure of the carrier to protect the enzyme and the high capture ability of MOF and carbonic anhydrase for CO2, to construct a hollow MOF immobilized enzyme (FDH&CA@H-ZIF-8), and then combine it with electrocatalytic NADH regeneration to enable CO2 to be efficiently reduced to formic acid in the enzyme electrocatalytic system. By pre-encapsulating FDH and CA in ZIF-67, and then growing a layer of ZIF-8 shell on its surface, ZIF-67 is dissociated to form a ZIF-8 cavity. The enzyme originally fixed in ZIF-67 will be released and encapsulated in the cavity between the ZIF-8 shells. The addition of CA greatly promotes the capture of CO2, significantly improving the CO2 capture ability of FDH&CA@H-ZIF-8, thereby accelerating the further conversion to formic acid under FDH catalysis.

[0035] The present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments to provide a further understanding of the present invention. The following embodiments are by no means intended to limit the present invention in any way.

[0036] Example 1: Preparation of hollow ZIF-8 immobilized dual enzyme, the preparation process is as follows:

[0037] 1) FDH and CA were embedded in ZIF-67 by embedding method. The obtained product was recorded as FDH&CA@ZIF-67. The specific process was as follows:

[0038] 5 mL of a 1.925 mmol / L aqueous solution of hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) was added to 7.5 mL of a 1.843 M aqueous solution of 2-methylimidazole, and the mixture was stirred at 500 rpm for 5 minutes. An aqueous solution containing 30 mg of FDH and 15 mg of CA was then added to the mixture, followed by 2.5 mL of a 97.5 mmol / L aqueous solution of Co(NO₃)₂ 6H₂O. The resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature for 5 minutes. The resulting reaction solution was allowed to stand in a refrigerator at 4°C for 1 hour and centrifuged to obtain a precipitate of FDH and CA@ZIF-67.

[0039] The prepared FDH&CA@ZIF-67 was characterized by XRD. Figure 1 As shown, crystal peaks appeared at 2θ=7.2, 10.2, 12.6, 14.7, 16.5 and 17.9, proving the successful preparation of ZIF-67. The fixation of FDH and CA had no effect on the crystal structure of ZIF-67.

[0040] 2) A ZIF-8 shell was grown on the surface of FDH&CA@ZIF-67. The resulting product was denoted as FDH&CA@ZIF-67@ZIF-8. The specific process was as follows:

[0041] First, the FDH&CA@ZIF-67 obtained in step 1) was dispersed in a mixture of 7.5 mL of 1.843 M 2-methylimidazole aqueous solution and 10 mL of 1.925 mmol / L CTAB aqueous solution. Then, 2.5 mL of 97.5 mmol / L Zn(NO₃)₂ 6H₂O aqueous solution was added, and the resulting mixture was stirred at 500 rpm for 5 minutes. The resulting reaction solution was allowed to stand in a refrigerator at 4°C for 1 hour. The FDH&CA@ZIF-67@ZIF-8 precipitate was collected by filtration and washed multiple times with excess deionized water. The resulting product, FDH&CA@ZIF-67@ZIF-8, was freeze-dried overnight.

[0042] The prepared FDH&CA@ZIF-67@ZIF-8 was characterized and the results were as follows Figure 2 As shown in the figure, crystal peaks appeared at 2θ=7.2, 10.2, 12.6, 14.7, 16.5 and 17.9, and after a layer of ZIF-8 was transiently grown outside ZIF-67, the strong crystallinity of ZIF-8 was revealed. Figure 3 It can be clearly seen that the MOF exhibits a uniform solid structure after the enzyme is immobilized.

[0043] 3) Hollowing FDH&CA@ZIF-67@ZIF-8 was performed through a gentle hollowing process, and the obtained product was recorded as FDH&CA@H-ZIF-8. The specific process is as follows:

[0044] The FDH&CA@ZIF-67@ZIF-8 precipitate obtained in step 2 was incubated with 200 mL of deionized water at room temperature for 24 h for hollowing. After this process, the FDH&CA@H-ZIF-8 precipitate was collected by filtration and washed multiple times with excess deionized water. The resulting product was freeze-dried overnight to obtain a hollow ZIF-8 immobilized dual enzyme, which was recorded as FDH&CA@H-ZIF-8.

[0045] The prepared FDH&CA@H-ZIF-8 was characterized and the results showed Figure 4 As shown, FDH&CA@H-ZIF-8 showed crystal peaks at 2θ=7.2, 10.2, 12.6, 14.7, 16.5 and 17.9, proving the successful preparation of FDH&CA@H-ZIF-8. The hollowing did not cause changes in the crystal, maintaining the rigid structure of ZIF-8, and had certain advantages. Figure 5 TEM results show that after the hollowing process, the MOF crystals formed a central cavity without changing their morphology.

[0046] CA and FDH were fluorescently labeled with Rhodamine B and FITC, respectively. Figure 6 As shown in a and b, fluorescently labeled CA and FDH emit red and green fluorescence respectively after being excited by a certain wavelength. Figure 6 Figure c shows that the two enzymes are co-encapsulated and emit yellow fluorescence, confirming the presence of dual enzymes in FDH&CA@H-ZIF-8.

[0047] Example 2: Optimizing the concentrations of CA and FDH in the preparation process of the present invention

[0048] Six different hollow ZIF-8 immobilized dual enzyme samples were prepared according to the preparation process of Example 1. The amounts and concentrations of CA and FDH in step 1) are shown in Table 1.

[0049] Table 1

[0050]

[0051] The enzyme-catalyzed CO2 reduction reaction with electrocatalytic NADH regeneration was carried out in a three-electrode system consisting of a cathode chamber, a proton exchange membrane, and an anode chamber. 10 mL of deionized water was added to the anode chamber, and 50 mg of the sample prepared in Example 2 and an appropriate amount of 2-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone (HNQ) and reduced coenzyme I (NADH) were added to the cathode chamber. The concentration of HNQ in each experiment was 2.5 mmol / L, and the concentration of NADH was 3.5 mmol / L. The six samples were subjected to the experiment of bioelectrocatalytic CO2 reduction to formic acid; 10 mL of Tris (50 mmol / L, pH = 6.5) was used as the reaction solvent. At the same time, CO2 was bubbled (100 mL / min) and the applied voltage was -0.65 V (vs. Ag / AgCl), thereby achieving bioelectrocatalytic CO2 reduction. From Table 1 and Figure 7 As can be seen, at the same FDH concentration of 1 mg / mL, the reaction rate increases with increasing CA concentration, demonstrating that CA can promote CO2 conversion by accelerating the hydration of carbon dioxide. However, when the FDH concentration increases to 2.5 mg / mL, increasing CA concentration does not effectively accelerate the overall reaction; the reaction rate at this point is the same as when the FDH concentration is 2 mg / mL. Furthermore, from a reaction kinetics perspective, increasing the FDH content is more conducive to the forward direction of the reaction. The best results were achieved when CA and FDH concentrations were 1 mg / mL and 2 mg / mL, respectively, resulting in the greatest amount of formic acid.

[0052] Example 3: A dual-enzyme microreactor was constructed using the FDH & CA@H-ZIF-8 prepared in Example 1 for bioelectrochemical coupled CO2 reduction. The specific operation process is as follows:

[0053] The enzymatic CO2 reduction reaction with electrocatalytic NADH regeneration was carried out in a three-electrode system consisting of a cathode chamber, a proton exchange membrane, and an anode chamber. 10 mL of deionized water was added to the anode chamber, and 90 mg of FDH&CA@H-ZIF-8 obtained in Example 1, HNQ (2 mmol / L), and NADH (3.5 mmol / L) were added to the cathode chamber. 10 mL of Tris (50 mmol / L, pH = 6.5) was used as the reaction solvent. CO2 was bubbled (100 mL / min) and an applied voltage of -0.65 V (vs. Ag / AgCl) was applied to achieve bioelectrocatalytic CO2 reduction.

[0054] Figure 8 Schematic diagram of FDH&CA@H-ZIF-8 enzyme electrocatalytic CO2 reduction. In the cathode chamber, FDH uses NADH as a reducing agent to reduce CO2. Water is electrolyzed in the anode chamber to generate protons and electrons. Protons enter the cathode chamber through the proton exchange membrane, and electrons are captured by HNQ and NAD + reaction to achieve continuous regeneration of NADH.

[0055] Electrochemically coupled enzyme-catalyzed CO2 reduction was performed using the method in Example 3. The concentration of formic acid produced after 180 minutes was 3.12 mmol / L.

[0056] Example 4: According to the reaction conditions of Example 3, the prepared FDH&CA@H-ZIF-8 was subjected to 8 cycles of reaction, and the activity of formate dehydrogenase after each reaction was measured to evaluate its performance. Figure 9 It can be seen that 80.1% of the enzyme activity can still be retained after being reused 8 times, indicating that the catalyst has good operational stability.

[0057] Comparative Example: Ten enzymatic reaction systems were designed to compare and investigate the performance of FDH&CA@H-ZIF-8 under actual reaction conditions. Figure 10As shown, the free enzyme produced a maximum of 0.425 mmol / L of formic acid within 3 hours. After FDH was encapsulated in ZIF-67@ZIF-8 and coupled with electrochemical NADH regeneration, the FDH@ZIF-67@ZIF-8 system produced a maximum of 1.41 mmol / L of formic acid within 3 hours. When FDH was encapsulated in a hollow ZIF-8 system coupled with electrochemical regeneration (FDH@H-ZIF-8), the formic acid yield reached 1.92 mmol / L. Furthermore, after co-encapsulation of CA, the resulting FDH&CA@H-ZIF-8 produced 3.12 mmol / L of formate within 3 hours in an electrochemical NADH regeneration system. In summary, FDH&CA@H-ZIF-8 exhibited the highest formic acid yield in the enzymatic electrocatalytic CO2 reduction system, at 3.12 mmol / L, which is 7.3 times that of the free enzyme system.

[0058] The dual-enzyme microreactor obtained by the preparation method of the invention can enhance the adsorption of CO2, which can be used for the resource treatment of CO2 to produce formic acid, a chemical with high added value, and has a good formic acid production and good usability.

The above-mentioned specific embodiments are merely illustrative and not restrictive. Under the guidance of the present invention, ordinary technicians in this field can make many improvements and changes without departing from the purpose of the present invention, which are all protected by the present invention.
