'The results of this research are technologies that can be applied to the production of various chemical substances as well as bioplastics.'

As researchers suggested, high-efficiencyand systems are actively being developed for the effective conversion of CO2. Only compounds with one or up to three carbon atoms are occasionally created as conversion products.

One-carbon compounds like CO, formic acid, and ethylene are created with a comparatively high level of efficiency. These systems can also create liquid molecules with multiple carbons, such as ethanol, acetic acid, and propanol, although there are restrictions on conversion efficiency and product choice due to the nature of the chemical reaction, which needs more electrons.
