A mild hydrothermal route to fix carbon dioxide to simple carboxylic acids.
The reduction of carbon dioxide (CO(2)) under mild hydrothermal conditions was carried out in the presence of iron nanoparticles. In this reaction system, the iron nanoparticles not only act as the reducing agent but also catalyze the reduction of CO(2) to form formic acid and acetic acid.
