The Process of Carbon Fixation: A Review of Photosynthesis and Artificial Techniques

Carbon fixation is a process of combining carbon dioxide (CO2) and water with energy to create organic molecules, such as sugar and starch. This process usually occurs in green plants, algae, and certain bacteria, and is known as photosynthesis. In photosynthesis, the energy is provided by light and the process is catalyzed by a class of proteins called enzymes. Photosynthesis is a crucial process for sustaining life on Earth, as it is the primary source of energy for almost all living organisms. In addition to natural photosynthesis, there are also various artificial techniques for carbon fixation. These techniques involve using light energy from the sun, as well as other sources such as chemical and electrical energy, to convert CO2 into organic molecules. These techniques have been used for industrial applications such as the production of fuel, fertilizer, and other chemicals. For example, the use of metal-oxide-based photocatalysts has been proposed for the production of fuel from CO2 (Rizi et al., 2020). Similarly, electrochemical carbon dioxide reduction has been used to synthesize organic molecules such as methanol and formic acid (Munoz et al., 2018). Cont…
