I’m a big-time chemical and a clue to how chemists are celebrating Earth Week this year. What molecule am I? Formic acid is the simplest carboxylic acid. Its discovery in the distillation products of ...

The electrocatalytic oxidation of formic acid has emerged as a pivotal reaction for direct formic acid fuel cells and sustainable energy conversion systems. Mechanistically, the process bifurcates ...

Electroreduction offers a promising route for converting CO 2 into value-added chemicals using renewable electricity. Among the possible products, formic acid is particularly attractive because it is ...

In a study published in Angewandte Chemie International Edition, researchers developed an acid/alkali asymmetric electrolyzer for acidic CO 2 reduction reaction (CO 2 RR) coupled with alkaline ...

Photocatalytic hydrogen generation from formic acid harnesses solar energy to drive the dehydrogenation of formic acid into molecular hydrogen and carbon dioxide under mild conditions. Formic acid ...

Flowchart of the process (above) for producing formic acid through the conversion of newly developed carbon dioxide (CO2) using Carbon Capture & Utilization (CCU), and pilot-scale process verification ...

Insights from experiments designed to push chemical systems far from equilibrium allowed an international group of researchers to discover a new major source of formic acid over the Pacific and Indian ...
