  • ELECTRON CARRIER, ELECTRON CARRIER PRODUCTION METHOD, AND ELECTRON TRANSFER METHOD
    Publication number: 20240060055
    Abstract: An electron carrier includes a modified cyanobacterium in which at least: (i) a total amount of a protein involved in binding between an outer membrane and a cell wall of cyanobacterium is suppressed to at least 30 percent and at most 70 percent of a total amount of the protein in a parent strain; or (ii) an organic channel protein which improves protein permeability of the outer membrane is expressed. The modified cyanobacterium performs at least one of supplying electrons to an outside or taking in electrons from the outside.
    Type: Application
    Filed: August 28, 2023
    Publication date: February 22, 2024
    Applicant: Panasonic Intellectual Property Management Co., Ltd.
    Inventors: Seiji Kojima, Shoko KUSAMA
  • ELECTRON CARRIER, ELECTRON CARRIER PRODUCTION METHOD, AND ELECTRON TRANSFER METHOD
    Publication number: 20220293990
    Abstract: An electron carrier includes a modified cyanobacterium in which at least: (i) a function of a protein involved in binding between an outer membrane and a cell wall of cyanobacterium is suppressed or lost; or (ii) a channel protein which improves protein permeability of the outer membrane is expressed. The modified cyanobacterium performs at least one of supplying electrons to an outside or taking in electrons from the outside.

  • METHOD FOR REDUCING CARBON DIOXIDE ELECTROCHEMICALLY TO GENERATE ETHYLENE SELECTIVELY
    Publication number: 20180142365
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for reducing carbon dioxide electrochemically to generate ethylene selectively. In the present method, a carbon dioxide reduction catalyst comprising a crystalline copper phthalocyanine is used to generate ethylene selectively by reducing carbon dioxide electrochemically on a cathode electrode.
