Enzymatic conversion of CO 2 to high-value chemicals is a green route of resource reutilization, which is limited by low solubility of CO 2 in mild conditions. Here, silica microspheres were first modified by the co-deposition of polyethyleneimine (PEI) and dopamine and the resultant polydopamine (PDA)/PEI-SiO 2 was then used as the strengthening material of the enzymatic conversion of CO 2 to formate. The initial reaction rate increased from 13.4 to 27.2 times with the loading amount of PDA/PEI-SiO 2 increasing from 0.1 to 0.4 g. Following that, PDA/PEI-SiO 2 was used as the carrier for the immobilization of carbonic anhydrase (CA). As a result of synergism, the formate synthesis was accelerated up to 48.6 times with a low loading amount of 0.2 g of PDA/PEI-SiO 2 -CA. Although the promoting effect of PDA/PEI-SiO 2 retained only 56.1% after being used once, PDA/PEI-SiO 2 -CA retained 95.1% activity after 10 cycles of use. It was presumed that CA boosted the impact and reusability of PDA/PEI-SiO 2 by improving CO 2 desorption. This work is much significant in providing a simple and high-efficiency strategy for process intensification of enzymatic CO 2 conversion.
